tinyMCE doesn't work very well when combined with html5 input-validation.
The cause is in detailed described in this [bugreport][].

Summarized, the problem is this:

- the original textarea is hidden by tinyMCE and has the HTML5-attribute `required` set
- when the textarea is initially empty and the form is submitted, the HTML5-Validation wil prevent triggering the 'submit'-event which in turn prevents tinyMCE from updating the contents of the hidden textarea.

Since i need to have this working I'll send you a pull-request as soon as i found some sensible workaround.
