Summary: invisible directional character on File page pollutes
pasted filenames
Product: MediaWiki
Version: 1.16-svn
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Normal
Component: General/Unknown
AssignedTo: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org
ReportedBy: worden....@gmail.com
The File page outputs an invisible Unicode directional character ("Left to
Right Mark" or its counterpart) just after the link to the raw file, with no
space intervening.
That's, for instance, here on line 479 of ImagePage.php (r73636):
<span class="dangerousLink">{$medialink}</span>$dirmark
This means that when a user copies the filename from that link in order to
paste it into a wiki page, the invisible character is pasted as well. This can
cause problems in the wiki page and is hard to troubleshoot because the
offending character is invisible.
I don't know anything about bidirectional text, so I don't have a patch, but
can't that mark be separated from the link text, or even converted into an html
attribute or something?
