Sitecore Experience Accelerator: "An error occured" when adding Bakground Image to Container

Using Sitecore 8.2 along with SXA 1.2 rev. 161216 (and Google Chrome), when I'm adding a background image to a container and then saving the change, I get an error,

Error message

I went to see the logs and saw this error, I am using Newtonsoft.Json version 6.0.8.18111 (didn't change the default one to my knowledge),

14152 11:18:32 ERROR After parsing a value an unexpected character was encountered: {. Path 'scLayout', line 1, position 1136.

Does someone have an idea what to do to solve this ?

Solution

  • This is a known bug in that version of SXA. You can ask the patch from Sitecore Support - use reference number 131168.

    The will provide a new version of \Website\sitecore\shell\client\Sitecore\ExperienceEditor\ExperienceEditor.js to fix the issue.
