If you have RTE in "inline mode" there's nothing visible that you can edit something:

You have to press in the white block and hope you enter the RTE.
Which is broken on its own as the controls are half outside the view:

Hi there @Nuklon!

Firstly, a big thank you for raising this issue. Every piece of feedback we receive helps us to make Umbraco better.

We really appreciate your patience while we wait for our team to have a look at this but we wanted to let you know that we see this and share with you the plan for what comes next.

• We'll assess whether this issue relates to something that has already been fixed in a later version of the release that it has been raised for.
• If it's a bug, is it related to a release that we are actively supporting or is it related to a release that's in the end-of-life or security-only phase?
• We'll replicate the issue to ensure that the problem is as described.
• We'll decide whether the behavior is an issue or if the behavior is intended.

We wish we could work with everyone directly and assess your issue immediately but we're in the fortunate position of having lots of contributions to work with and only a few humans who are able to do it. We are making progress though and in the meantime, we will keep you in the loop and let you know when we have any questions.

Thanks, from your friendly Umbraco GitHub bot 🤖 🙂

Hello, and thanks for testing. I can confirm this is not in a useful state. We are configuring TinyMCE with inline:true correctly, but I honestly cannot get it to work following that. It seems Tiny's calculations of where to put the menu is all off.

I did a bit of research and discovered that Tiny doesn't support the "inline" option in their Web Component implementation either. It seems like there are issues when inside a ShadowDOM.

In fact, Tiny says that running inside a Shadow DOM is experimental at best.

We will need to discuss internally if we can support this mode and what the outlook looks like.
