Bug #: 32241
Summary: WikiEditor scrolls the browser and does not insert on
IE8 on Windows 7
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: any
Platform: All
OS/Version: Windows 7
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: WikiEditor
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
CC: [email protected], [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
On Windows 7 with IE8, make sure the edit page is scrolled all the way to the
top and click a WikiEditor button (such as Bold) or use a dropdown (such as
Heading). The entire browser page scrolls downward and the button/dropdown does
not insert any text into the edit box.
Now, leave the browser window in its current (scrolled) state and click the
button (or use the dropdown) again. The proper text gets inserted.
Scroll the page back up to the top. Click the Bold button again. Same
behavior: the browser scrolls and nothing gets inserted.
This bug feels similar to 31847 and might be related. It happens only on
Windows 7 (as far as I can tell). It happens on Wikipedia right now (1.18wfm1
r101368), and also on Mediawiki 1.17.0 that has been patched with the solution
to the related bug 31847 (i.e., r100398).
The bad behavior happens regardless of whether the cursor focus is in the edit
box, or whether text is highlighted in the edit box. I also turned off all
additional features in Preferences (Side-by-side preview, etc.)
I tried this on a non-Windows-7 system (Windows 2008 Server) with IE8 and could
not reproduce the problem. But it was easy to reproduce on Windows 7.
