[Using Sakai] [Building Sakai] Some UX issues on Android smartphones

[Dave Ross]

We're testing a bit with the iPad here - we've found a workaround for FCK ->

Hit the "Paste as Plain Text" button - this brings up a dialog with a
regular text box - which you can then enter information into and
"paste" back into the editor.

Not pretty, but it works.
