Bug #: 39840
Summary: Search & Replace does not work in Opera
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: WikiEditor

Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
(I think this is also reported in bugs 22358 and 22816, but these aren't
maintained anymore and are really crowded)
The "find" routine of "Search&Replace" does not work as expected in Opera and
therefore "replace" doesn't work either.
The problem are line breaks: When getting the text from the textarea, all \r
are removed, so every line break is only one character (\n). When setting the
text selection (selectionStart/selectionEnd) Opera counts the line breaks as
two characters (\r\n).
Example:
A\r\n
B
If you want to select "B", the text of the textarea is loaded, but then the \r
is removed: "A\nB", so selectionStart=2 and selectionEnd=3. If applied to the
above text, the following result is shown (selection in []):
A\r[\n]
B
The \n is selected instead of the B.
The problem is inside "jquery,mediawiki". The function "val" on line 2143 is
used to get the content of the textarea. I don't know why, but on line 2159 not
"ret" is returned, but "ret.replace(rreturn, "")", which removes the \r.
I really don't know why this is done. Firefox+Chrome don't contain any \r in
textareas, so removing the replacement should work in Opera - but of course I
don't know which functions also rely on this "val" function.
