This PR omits the
wp-tinymcedependency when registering this plugins classic editor JavaScript.This plugin's classic editor script does rely on the presence of the
tinymceglobal, hence the explicit declaration of that dependence. However, we found that doing this impacts loading order and/or execution time in a way that results in a bug that is observed in interaction with Toolset Types. See here.Customers experiencing that problem reported that this change resolves the issue. The root cause seems to be something to do with Toolset's assumptions. Toolset should not break due to changing the load order of standard scripts. However, this workaround seems low enough risk to do it anyway.
