As we use an old version, I need to update to the last to see if this solve the problem, in a first time. Be careful about codemirror as I have modify a little the source code to work with the editor. So, just an update will not work. > > *Adding a new slide tab for Anonymous contributions only.* > Files from Anonymous contributions and VCS users are all in the same > section: "Work in progress". > I suggest to have a new tab containing only Anonymous users > to differentiate both groups.
