Root Cause
Prior to Pega 7, with a third party tool called YUI Editor to support our Rich Text Editor functionality.
In Pega 7, it is using a different third party editor called CKEditor.
This is an issue in CKEditor version 4.3.x which is what we currently use. This issue has been fixed by CKEditor in 4.5.2.
This will be a product enhancement.
Resolution
An enhancement request, FDBK-17532, has been created for consideration by Pega Product Management.
