[Bug 1393274] Re: Can not add HTML comments as anonymous user

 

This was a design decision for accessibility purposes, rather than for
security purposes. Using git bisect I traced it to this commit:

commit e72166aa8ceb39d0e0198663edc5221fdbcad693
Author: Jono Mingard <jonom@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

    Respect the user's HTML editor setting in Feedback (Bug #1259373)
    
    If TinyMCE is enabled/disabled in the site settings it should always be
    enabled/disabled for Feedback.
    
    If TinyMCE is set to User-defined, it will only be enabled if the
    logged-in user has enabled it in their user settings. This means it will
    be disabled for anonymous users and people who've turned the HTML editor
    off.

Title:
  Can not add HTML comments as anonymous user

Status in Mahara ePortfolio:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Version: master (15.04)
  Browser: any

  As a mahara user, I can add a HTML comment to a page via TinyMCE editor, but as anonymous, I can't as the editor is not available.
  (see the attached image)

  This is caused by the tinymce js lib is not loaded for non-login
  users(anonymous).
