Issue Summary
The status icons on the left side of the Ready to go, Saving changes, and Changes saved messages in Confluence editor are missing in newer versions.
Tested and reproduced in Confluence 7.3.5, 7.4.7, and 7.11.1.
Steps to Reproduce
- In one of the affected versions, create a new page.
- Once the editor completely loads check the status message and icon at the bottom of the page.
- See result 1 under Actual Results
- Start typing something on the page and check the status message and icon at the bottom of the page.
- See result 2 under Actual Results
- Stop typing and check the status message at the bottom of the page.
- See result 3 under Actual Results
Expected Results
You would see the Ready to go message with the grey 
icon on the left side:
While typing or making changes we should see the 
icon:
Once we are done with the changes we should see the icon once again:
Actual Results
We still see the status messages but no icons are displayed:
- Result 1 - Ready to go:
- Result 2 - Saving changes:
- Result 3 - Changes saved:
Additional Information and Tests
While checking the UI elements via developer tools we can see the following for the status icon in Confluence version 6.13.10 (this version is not affected):
<div class="status-indicator-icon aui-icon aui-icon-small aui-iconfont-approve" data-tooltip="We're automatically saving all of your changes in a draft." original-title=""></div>
In newer versions affected by this, while the icon is not displayed, we still see the same icon reference right above the status-indicator-message:
If we click on the status-indicator-icon reference, we can see the following in the Styles tab:
#pluggable-status.synchrony .synchrony-status-indicator .status-indicator-icon {
float: left;
color: #505f79;
display: none;
}
If we uncheck the display:none; option, the icon shows up in the UI:
Not a workaround because the change doesn't persist.
Workaround
Currently, there is no known workaround for this behavior user should rely on the written message alone. A workaround will be added here when available.
[CONFSERVER-61398] Status icons are missing in Confluence editor
Do you have this on the released documentations? I didn't see this one.
So sorry that this change has caused headaches. I missed mentioning it in Confluence 7.0 with the other minor visual changes.
I’ve now added the info to the Upgrade notes, and have also updated the screenshots in the documentation.
