Rich Content Editor image bug

[gpillsbury]

Images cannot be floated left.  In the RCE, you can click on an image and choose the right-align tool.  This creates a proper "float: right" style attribute in the image's HTML and text properly wraps around the image.

However, clicking on the same image and choosing the left-align tool does not generate the float attribute in the image HTML.  Only the surrounding <P> tag gets a "text-align: left", which is not the same thing as floating the image.

Can someone confirm this behavior?

Hi @gpillsbury ...

If you insert an image into your content page and then left align it to your text, then yes, I see the same behavior that you describe.  No "float: left" HTML code.  However, there's an easy fix for this...but it just takes a couple additional clicks of the mouse.  First, right-align your image to your text.  Then, left-align your image to your text.  When you look at your HTML, you'll see the code you're looking for.  Here's what it looks like in my own sandbox course.

Hope this helps!

Thanks.  I got it to work using your method.  However, I tried it again from scratch (uploading a new test image), and left-align resulted in the correct float:left without needing to float:right first.  Weird...

If this still is happening, you may want to contact canvas support and they can look into this for you as well.
