Release notes · August 29, 2026

RichTextEditor 2.5.4

A one-line CSS fix that had reached both websites but neither the npm package nor the download zips.

2.5.4

Find and replace opened off-screen Fix

rte-dialog-float was position: absolute while its top and max-height are computed against the viewport, so the find/replace dialog rendered outside the visible area. The fix is a single declaration.

It landed on 27 August at 02:39. The download zips had been built at 00:58 that same night, and 2.5.3 was published from the tree before the edit — so both websites picked the fix up and every customer installing from npm or downloading a zip did not. This release carries it to the package, and the ten download zips were rebuilt alongside it.

Accessibility checker missed top-level images Fix

querySelectorAll returns descendants only, so an image that is itself a top-level block — exactly where a pasted or dropped image lands in an empty editor — was never checked, and missing alt text went unreported. The keyboard and toggle-state accessibility pass for the editor chrome ships in this release too.

These two were already in the tree and went out with 2.5.4 without being planned into it. We found them by diffing the published 2.5.3 and 2.5.4 tarballs after publishing — which is the only thing that shows what actually shipped.
