MathJax streamblock widget initially works, then doesn't

[bbrelje]

Hey there, great work on this plugin! It worked great as I edited and published my first test post using equations and the MathJax streamblock widget.

Unfortunately, after I saved a draft of the page for the first time, I went back to edit the test page (add another MathJax widget instance) and observed the following symptoms:

• Live preview window in the existing MathJax widget instance non-responsive
• Live preview window in the new MathJax widget non-responsive
• An extra / phantom stream field appears below the new MathJax widget. It has no content, just shows up as black when moused over, background color otherwise
• Delete and up/down arrows in the MathJax streamblock widget do nothing (on the newly created widget instance) and work normally (on the old widget instance)
• Saving the page in this state (draft or publish) results in the error below
• Waiting some length of time (on the order of 10s of minutes) resolves the problem temporarily
• MathJax expressions still render properly on the live pages when I introduce it as RawHTML streamblock content (so I don't think it's a browser issue with MathJax)

The problem is not universal to all cases with multiple MathJax widgets on one page. I had live previews of two MathJax widgets working at the same time on one occasion.

I think the problem may be related to the GUI changes introduced in wagtail 1.12 but I could easily be wrong about that.

Hi Thanks for reporting this. I haven't made any updates/checked any breakages for wagtail 1.12, so this would be my first port of call. I'll do some tests, if you are able, it would help to test with a previous version of wagtail to verify it is isolated to 1.12.

Will close this as there hasn't been any update for a good while
