Unstable Behavior of the Rich Text Editor in Content Modules
Background:
As a team that works extensively with Shopware’s CMS and builds sophisticated pages via Shopping Experiences, we’ve repeatedly encountered critical usability issues with the built-in rich text editor used in content modules and custom fields.
Problem:
The current text editor behaves inconsistently and creates significant friction in content workflows:
It frequently injects arbitrary CSS classes into the HTML output without user input.
There is no easy way to reset text color back to the default.
When applying formatting such as bold, it sometimes adds font color tags even though no color change is intended or visible.
Bullet points are difficult to handle correctly — indentation from the left margin is often broken, and formatting differs inconsistently between modules or contexts.
These bugs and inconsistencies make it unnecessarily difficult to edit and style text, especially for more complex layouts.
Wish / Recommendation:
We would like to see a more robust and predictable editor with the following improvements:
Clean and controlled HTML output without injected inline styles or classes.
A reset function for colors and formatting.
Standardized and reliable bullet point behavior across modules.
Generally more stability and polish, especially for professional users managing large-scale CMS layouts.
