Bug #: 33926
Summary: WikiEditor crashes Internet Explorer due to bad
preferences
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: any
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: WikiEditor
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
CC: [email protected], [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
After enabling WikiEditor on our MediaWiki 1.17.1 system, a small number of
users are experiencing browser crashes in IE8. (The whole browser hangs as
WikiEditor is rendering.)
The solution has been to visit My Preferences and simply click the Save button.
After that, no more crashes.
Any ideas what could be causing this?
As an experiment, I set my own preferences to be equal to those of a "crashing"
user. My browser did not crash.
Here are the preferences for the crashing user, before the "re-save":
select * from vpw_user_properties where up_user = 56;
+---------+----------------------------------+-------------+
| up_user | up_property | up_value |
+---------+----------------------------------+-------------+

+---------+----------------------------------+-------------+
22 rows in set (0.00 sec)
Here they are after re-saving preferences:

You'll see a few custom preferences, but I don't see why WikiEditor would pay
any attention to them.
