Was able to confirm second edit with JCE won't save. Does with TinyMCE. JCE is getting real frustrating, lol. Am looking into it further and can hopefully have a fix available soon.

Thanks Kyle.
Sorry for frustration. But this really means a lot to me and my clients. They are used to JCE for the past few years on my older version of my sites.
As always - I appreciate your help. Wish I could buy you a beer or something.

Ok, this is now fixed once and for all! I've confirmed TinyMCE, CodeMirror, and JCE all work with multiple saves and cancels over and over again. I had to implement forcing the editor to update on store. I'm guessing JCE is listening to a specific event for its save behavior, but I'm not sure what that event is and forcing the update triggers it. Please update and let me know if you have any further issues.

Kyle:

I am close to finishing my mammoth site. Thank for all your help along the way.
I have had one other issue with JCE (I know you're cringing now).
Some of the dropdowns, like for text Style and Insert Media get frozen. So the box containing the dropdown items gets frozen on the screen and does not go away until the browser is refreshed.
It may be difficult to recreate, it doesn't happen all the time. It seems to happen when the site has had several edits to several Text Editor Areas. But don't know why it happens after working for awhile.
But, it has been an issue that has been ongoing since you last worked on it (actually, prior to your last efforts to get it to work). I just didn't want to bug you about the bug.

Thanks again for all your help.

My best guess is JCE isn't properly destroying itself. We call Joomla editor JS functions and TinyMCE JS functions for an editor to be cleared, but JCE isn't using Joomla standardized API so it's problematic as I've no idea what JCE API is to do this.

There's no API documentation so I don't know when I'll be able to fix that as I've to set aside the time to dig into JCE JS and figure out how to safely destroy an editor. I just don't have that time right now. I've created a bug ticket regarding the issue.

If you could provide exact steps to reproduce the problem reliably that would be of large help as well.
