Bug #: 38499
Summary: Problem with hidden feedback overlay
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: master
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Keywords: aftv5-1.5
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: ArticleFeedbackv5
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]

Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
There is an issue with AFTv5 that affects a few users who are Oversighters. I
think I've narrowed the issue far enough that we can ask if it is being caused
by how ResourceLoader or something is handling javascript in a particular
situation.
It has been seen in Firefox, Chrome, and IE9, in Vector and Monobook skins.
I have tried to reproduce the issue using one user's custom javascript and
gadgets and not succeeded. However, I can reproduce the behavior by disabling
javascript in the browser.
What happens is this: on the detail view of a particular post, such as
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:ArticleFeedbackv5/Golden-crowned_Sparrow/170903,
these few users do not see the blue javascript overlay that says "This post
#170,903 was hidden by Llywrch 28 minutes ago.View contents".
Instead they see the post itself, but all of the controls on the right side
like Feature, Unhide are not active.
My theory is that the user would have had to have clicked "View contents" in
order to activate the right side controls, but since the javascript for the
blue overlay with that link never appears, the controls are not active.
So the question is: what would prevent serving the javascript that creates the
blue overlay and the "View contents" link from being served in some few cases?
Note: we checked to see if it was only hidden posts detail view with "Oversight
requested" or if it is all hidden posts, and it is definitely all hidden posts,
for these few users.
