Clicking Article hides the feedback widger

1. Load page (say) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barack_Obama
2. Click option Article or use shortcut shift+esc+c
3. The feedback widget 'Improve this page' hides
4. Reload the page
5. Widget stays hidden

The condition persists in FF, Chrome and Opera whether you are logged on or
out.

Work around: In order to redisplay the widget you have to open the page in a
new window.

If you look at it from usability point of view it is a feature  that is not
obvious and useful if you want to get rid of the widget temporarily. It is
distracting to the user if it stays on the page while he is browsing. You still
have the 'Help Improve this article' feedback option available at the bottom of
the page which points to different bug. As I understand, this feedback  option
is only available if the feedback widget is also displayed.

Browsers: FF12, Opera 11.64, Chrome
