Re: [Wikimediaau-l] Warning: Visual Editor - turn it on and it seems you can't turn it off!

[Paul Foord]

In Chrome there is a tab 'Edit source' which is my default, the visual
editor is difficult to use, or use effectively.

 Tried it - immediately realised it would be useless to me as it doesn't
 recognise infoboxes. I found that in Firefox and IE the Gadgets turn off
 option is not there, but in Chrome and Maxthon 3 it appears.

 IE 10 is already a bug in the queue, once functionality is fully in
 order on browsers that aren't a complete time-and-effort pit to
 support:

 https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=50085

 The current round is intended to give the thing a really, really good
 kicking and the devs are furiously fixing bugs on a daily and
 more-than-daily basis; this is not the final product.

 If you have specific and reportable problems, and you want them fixed,
 you should comment at:

 I tried to fix this by clicking on edit again, but this came up with a
 warning saying that I was editing an old revision of the page. I was
 surprised, because I didn't think anyone would have had time to make any
 changes, so I checked the history. No, mine was the most recent edit. It
 seems that the warning appears if I try to edit twice without physically
 clicking on the reload button in my browser.

This bug is still a problem

And is a major cause of the rollout to IP-editors to be delayed
