Editor widget doesn't like starting off hidden...

[bpjohnson@…]

Hi. I'm trying to use the editor widget. I have it inside of a div which has the style display: none, but which becomes visible via wipeIn(); When I do this, the editor widget doesn't display with the rest of the div. If I set the container div to "display: block" the Editor works great.

The editor is being created as follows:

<div id="hideme" style="display: none">
  <div style="border: 1px solid #908f8f; background: #fff;" id="testEditor">
    <div dojoType="Editor"
        items="blockGroup;|;textGroup;|;justifyGroup;|;colorGroup;">
        <br />
        ...It could scarcely be easier.
        <br />
        <br />

    </div>
  </div>
</div>

Most of which I cut-n-pasted from the example article.

The root issue here is that the editor doesn't really have a height until it's rendered and visible. It's possible to "brute force" it through a callback which calls editorObj._richText._updateHeight() manually, but that's not recommended. I'm going to move this off of 0.2 since it's not an Editor bug per-sae, but I won't close since a workaround is clearly needed.
