XMLWordPrintable

      Issue Summary

      If the attachment is displayed via Office macro and the macro is formatted as bold, the macro won't render and the UI will show only a spinning wheel as if it were loading.

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. Edit a page with an attached Office file (xls/xlsx, doc/docx etc.)
      2. Insert an Office macro according to the attached document (for example, Office Excel Macro)
      3. Select the Excel Macro and select bold from the text format panel
        This will add <strong> tag around the macro
      4. Save the page

      Expected Results

      Office macro to render the attachments without issues.

      Actual Results

      Office macro can't render the attachments and a javascript error is thrown in the console log:

      Workaround

      Removing the format (bold) fixes the issue.

      Information

      If there are multiple Excel Macros in the page, having any one of them bolded will cause the rest of the excel coming below it to encounter the issue as well
