Any kind of thought or solution may help
Thanks
This is being caused by a confirmed bug in Sitecore. (reference # 84051 when opening a ticket)
You can resolve this yourself, but I still recommend going through Sitecore so they can ensure that you have what you need.
To solve, look at the /sitecore/shell/client/Sitecore/ExperienceEditor/ExperienceEditor.js
file, on line 510 you will see that decodeURIComponent
is being called twice.
Updating it to only be called once like data: decodeURIComponent(JSON.stringify(commandContext))
will resolve the error.
Likewise, a change is required in the /sitecore/shell/client/Sitecore/ExperienceEditor/RibbonPageCode.js
file on line 24.
Here, adding the decodeURIComponent
method call is what fixes this file. So like this: ribbonUrl: decodeURIComponent(this.PageEditBar.get("url")),
This probably addresses the Coveo issue as well, but my clients are not currently using Coveo, so I can't verify that.
This post fixed for me. Note I'm using Sitecore 8.2 Update 2
My error:

return d;
var normalized = [];
normalized.push(d);
return normalized;
}
var token = $('input[name="__RequestVerificationToken"]').val();
// Custom Brainjocks code to fix Experience Editor error.
var ajaxData = unescape(JSON.stringify(commandContext));
if (commandContext && commandContext.scLayout) {
var obj = JSON.parse(commandContext.scLayout);
if (obj && obj.r) {
normalizeDeviceProp(obj.r.d).forEach(function (d) {
if (d.r instanceof Array) {
d.r.forEach(function (r) {
var val = r["@par"];
if (val && val.length > 0) {
ajaxData = ajaxData.replace(unescape(val), val);

jQuery.ajax({

Check the content of all of the fields being saved. The Experience/Page editor has to serialize everything into a json object to call its own internal API's. There might be a stray character in one of your fields tripping up the json serializer. I ran into this when the content editor had copy and pasted their content from elsewhere.
