text editor glitch since today's updates

This started happening right after I applied todays' JR updates.
First, halfway through the updates, I received a member complaint about not seeing the tinymce Text Editor at all available for Comments and Posts. But once all were updated and integ check and reset cache was done, I re-started my computer just to be sure and now i see this annoying whitish area always below the line where one is typing in all Comment and Forum post editor boxes.. in Groups, in Forums, in Comments on photos, videos, etc.

This is showing on my Windows desktop.. in FF, Safari, and Chrome browsers. The member who complained was seeing it on his PC in Chrome.
It is NOT happening or showing up on my (tablet) iPad- not happening there either on Chrome or Safari.
Will now check my (non mobile) Mac laptop... be right back.
See attachment for how it appears. It's very distracting and ugly. Please note that the cream colored background where my text is typed in the attached image is usually what 'should' be showing in the ENTIRE background of the text editor box.

The new version of TinyMCE changed some CSS on us - specifically there was no longer a "minimum" height set on the editor, and it would basically collapse into a line. So a minimum height of 170px was added as a rule in jrCore.css:

.form_editor_holder > div {
    min-height: 170px;
}

You can override that if you would like to make it shorter, or add your background color in.

Also - you might want to turn off the BETA channel if you don't want to update to beta versions of the Core.

Hi Strumelia - just got your email update but don't see that your reply was actually saved - can you try it again?

I just deleted a post about not seeing your replies here, but never mind they finally showed up when I posted my new post.

First- I didn't realize I still had the Beta channel turned on from some past occurance where I needed it on... thank you! Yes I def don't want it on, but will leave it on now until I finish all the current updates, then will turn it off again. I suppose that's the best thing to do now.

That's no problem - thanks for the report on the editor. I've only updated the CSS for Elastic 2 - we've got an open ticket to make sure it works correctly in the other skins, but you may need to tweak it for your custom skin.

So... I 'get' the problem you explained about tinymce, but not i understand your wording-
I like the text editor input box the size/height that it is now... don't want to make the actual box shorter. So not sure why you suggest making the min hgt shorter..? I must be misunderstanding how it works.
Basically, I just want that white area on the bottom to always be the same background color as the lines where I have been typing. I think the color is #f4eecb.

Then you may need to added your background color to that rule - i.e.

.form_editor_holder > div {
    min-height: 170px;
    background-color: #f4eecb;
}

Let me know if that works.

In the jrCore.css file on my server you mean? Should I go to change it directly via FTP, or change it in my ACP?

Go into your skin and add it to one of your skin CSS files - that will then "override" the core CSS.

Ok Brian... it took me a bit to figure out possibilities, but I wound up via FTP going into my custome skin's form_input.css file, and put your code in where it seemed logical.
Here's the result in my ACP (attached image):
