RadEditor Still fallback editor for web.config

Description of bug

When you switch an updated installation to DNNConnect.CKE and uninstall the previous editor the value in web.config reverts to DotNetNuke.RadEditorProvider. Even if you just removed Telerik in DNN 9.10

Steps to reproduce

List the precise steps to reproduce the bug:

1. On an installation with another editor than DNNConnect.CKE set as the editor in web.config. As an example the Watchers CKEditor: https://github.com/w8tcha/dnnckeditor In that case web.config will contain this: <htmlEditor defaultProvider="CKHtmlEditorProvider">
2. Now switch the editor to the Core Ck Editor, by setting this in the web.config <htmlEditor defaultProvider="DNNConnect.CKE">
3. Now uninstall the Previous editor provider (the Watchers one)

Current behavior

DNN reverts the defaultProvider to the RAD Editor which does not exist any more.

    <htmlEditor defaultProvider="DotNetNuke.RadEditorProvider">
      <providers>
        <clear />
        <add name="DNNConnect.CKE" type="DNNConnect.CKEditorProvider.CKHtmlEditorProvider, DNNConnect.CKEditorProvider" providerPath="~/Providers/HtmlEditorProviders/DNNConnect.CKE/" settingsControlPath="~/Providers/HtmlEditorProviders/DNNConnect.CKE/Module/EditorConfigManager.ascx" />
      </providers>
    </htmlEditor>

Expected behavior

As DNNConnect.CKE exist leave that in place

Additional context

Although this is not a very annoying issue IMO we should make sure we get rid of Rad everywhere, so I log this as a suggestion 😃

Affected version

• 10.00.00 alpha build
• 09.10.02 release candidate
• 09.10.01 latest supported release

@Timo-Breumelhof I did some digging on this one, and I don’t believe that this is a “bug” necessarily, or something that we can actually address on the platform side.

What happened is that as part of the un-install process the module included a configuration merge statement that needed to be completed, and DNN executed that statement.

The DNNConnect.CKE editor has a similar item: https://github.com/dnnsoftware/Dnn.Platform/blob/37a767c6cf45f6c3813b225793e35875455f9989/DNN Platform/Providers/HtmlEditorProviders/DNNConnect.CKE/DNNConnect.CKEditorProvider.dnn

As you can see, once removed it will fallback to RadEditorProvider.

@dnnsoftware/approvers any thoughts on this? Without lots of other stuff, and breaking changes I don’t know that we can fix this?
