In the top left corner there is a Source button, click source button and check HTML source, it seems that you have specified grey color for some of your container element.

I know this is from a month ago but I also ran into this issue. The HTML Editor was pulling the background-image and background-color from my custom Theme. Unfortunately I am using a dark gray background-image and dark gray background-color so it made typing anything pretty much impossible without highlighting the text with my mouse every two seconds. My solution was to comment out this line in /Admin/Utility/EditHtml.aspx:

Code: Select all

if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(theme)) return theme;
So now the HTML Editor is using the default AbleCommerce Theme no matter what. So far this seems to have resolved the issue.

Thanks Jim,

that's a really great tip! I was having the same problem with a dark grey background in the HTML editor and this has made things a lot easier.
