Thanks my problem may be related with the autopost back on the control. When I removed the setting and got rid of my XML Event Handlers the field cleared normally.

Sounds simple. I've tried with rules setting the field to nothing. The field begins to act strange. After I enter text into the field and select my post button--my managed code error routine detects that there is nothing in the Rich Text Field. Sure Enough, when I come back it's empty. It will stall if I enter it a second time.

I've tried
