Help.. Xinha does not initialize correctly. Maximize fixes issues

When I first uncover my Xinha it appears as follows

If I Maximize and then restore it everything works as expected..

The code for the Xinha Area is

        <div style="display: none;" id="editDescriptionDialog" onclick="stopBubble(event)">
            <div style="position:relative; top: 0px;">
                <div class="popupOuterEdge" style="top: 10px; left: 10px;">
                    <div id="editDescriptionContainer" class="popupBackground" style="width:670px;">
                        <div class="popupInnerEdge">
                            <div class="row popupTitle">
                                <xsl:text>Edit Image Description (HTML)</xsl:text>
                            </div>
                            <div style="height:5px"/>
                            <div align="center">
                                <textarea name="xinhaDescriptionEditor" id="xinhaDescriptionEditor" rows="10" cols="80"/>
                            </div>
                            <div style="height:5px;"/>
                            <div style="text-align:right;">
                                <span id="resetDescriptionOption" style=":display:none;">
                                    <img id="btnResetTitle" src="/XFILES/lib/icons/undoMultiLineText.png" alt="Restore Value" border="0" width="16" height="16" onclick="doResetEditDescription(event);return false;"/>
                                    <span style="width:10px; display:inline-block;"/>
                                </span>
                                <img id="btnCancelDescription" src="/XFILES/lib/icons/cancel.png" alt="Cancel Operation" border="0" width="16" height="16" onclick="doCancelEditDescription(event);return false;"/>
                                <span style="width:10px; display:inline-block;"/>
                                <img id="btnUpdateDescription" src="/XFILES/lib/icons/saveAndClose.png" alt="Update Image Description" border="0" width="16" height="16" onclick="doSaveEditDescription(event);return false;"/>
                            </div>
                        </div>
                    </div>
                </div>
            </div>
        </div>

And the Xinha Editor is activated as follows

function doOpenEditDescription(evt) {

  if (descriptionUpdated) {
      document.getElementById("resetDescriptionOption").style.display = "inline-block";
  }
  else {
      document.getElementById("resetDescriptionOption").style.display = "none";
  }

    openPopupDialog(evt,"editDescriptionDialog");

    var editor = xinha_editors.xinhaDescriptionEditor;    
    editor.setHTML(editor.inwardHtml(contentToHTML.toText(currentDescription)));
  editor.activateEditor();    
  editor.focusEditor();

}

Note that once the Xinha Instance has been maximized and resotred it all works perfectly. And if I hide it and then expose it again without refreshing hte page it works perfectly. hAny ideas in why Xinha is not properly initialized the frst time it is used.

Re: Help.. Xinha does not initialize correctly. Maximize fixes issues

You MUST have the Xinha display when it generates.  Once generated you can hide it.
