Aligning embedded video in RTE

[BrionyMcKenz]

Which exact Umbraco version are you using? For example: 9.0.1 - don't just write v9

8.17.1

Bug summary

Content editors cannot align embedded videos in the RTE.

Specifics

Embedding a video in the RTE wraps it in a div with the "mceNonEditable" class. This means users can't center-align the video.
I can see in the umbraco.services.js file there's a comment just above where this is done saying:
// Wrap HTML preview content here in a DIV with non-editable class of .mceNonEditable
// This turns it into a selectable/cutable block to move about

Steps to reproduce

• Embed video in RTE
• Click on video
• Click on "Align center" button
• Nothing happens :(

Expected result / actual result

I expect to be able to use the "Align center" button to center the video in the RTE.
Because the "mceNonEditable" class has been added, I am not able to center the video.

Hi @BrionyMcKenz.

Sorry for the late reply.

I can confirm this is a problem in Umbraco 8 to 10. It has been fixed in Umbraco 11 with the upgrade of TinyMCE to version 6.

I'll set it up for grabs to fix in the older versions.

I've tested this in Umbraco 11 and it seems like it only works when you first add the video. If you come back to the page after saving, it is no longer possible to align the video :(

Is there any update on this issue? I'm surprised other people haven't reported it. It's not ideal that you can only set formats when you first add the video so it's definitely relevant to v11.
