             Bug #: 39699
           Summary: Breaking redesign of jsMessage
           Product: MediaWiki
           Version: 1.20-git
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Unprioritized
         Component: JavaScript
        AssignedTo: [email protected]
        ReportedBy: [email protected]

https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/17605/ changed jsMessage significantly, by
using a new css to make it a small pop-up style window, and making it auto-hide
as well.

The problem is that this change broke a significant number of widely used
scripts, such as [[en:User:Mr.Z-man/closeAFD]]. These script uses the function
to display a form for gathering user input. They are therefore dependent on the
message being non-autohide, and moreover, many likely assumed that they have
more space horizontally than that tiny window.

I really can't see why the "new" behavior could not have been implemented in a
new function. Please revert this change.
