Item11722: Verbatim block with class=foswikiHidden is hidden from edit

Noticed when editing the DefaultUserRegistration topic, I noticed that the vast majority of the topic was missing from the editor. Discovered that there was a verbatim block with class = foswikiHidden

This is a hidden block

After saving the topic, the verbatim block was revealed, (class= removed), and the 2nd edit was able to edit the block.

Partially fixed. the foswikiHidden class is now preserved. But the block is still hidden from the editor.

SvenDowideit suggested a possible fix by adding CSS to wysiwyg.css to override the display attribute for foswikiHidden, however I've been unsuccessful.

This should work (but untested):

.foswikiEditTextarea .foswikiHidden {
    display: block
}

I'm striking out. I've verified that wysiwyg_src.css is loaded. The textarea that is opened is:

<div class="patternEditTopic"><textarea class="foswikiTextarea foswikiEditboxStyleProportional foswikiWysiwygEdit" id="topic" name="text" rows="22" cols="70" style='width:99%'>&#60;verbatim class&#61;&#34;foswikiHidden&#34;&#62;
asdf
asdf
&#60;/verbatim&#62;

I disabled the natedit skin, and I've tried the following:

.foswikiTextarea .foswikiHidden {
    display: block;
}
.natEditTextArea .foswikiHidden {
    display: block;
}
.foswikiWysiwygEdit .foswikiHidden {
    display: block;
}

Unfortunately because it's hidden, webDeveloper toolbar has not been all that helpful.

Fixed... Needed the following:

+.mceContentBody .foswikiHidden {
+       background-image:url("watermark_hidden.gif");
+       white-space:pre nowrap;
+    display: block;
 }

Not a complete fix. foswikiHidden cannot be set or cleared, and foswikiHidden is assumed to be a verbatim block. but at least the content can be seen and edited.

Added a watermark for hidden blocks.
