--- Comment #8 from TMg <[email protected]> 2012-10-23 20:58:59 UTC --- Do you see the violet rectangle? http://de.wikipedia.org/w/?oldid=109522498&uselang=en Everything behind that rectangle can not be clicked. You can select text behind the rectangle but you can not click links. If you make your browser window small enough the rectangle even makes it impossible to focus the search bar. There are dozens of use cases depending on what is blocked. It's not only the "View history" link. Depending on the width of the browser window (and depending on the length of the text in the popup) this also applies to the "Read" and "Edit" tabs, to the watchlist star, to the search bar, even to the "My user page", "My talk page" and so on in the line above. A very common use case is to click "My watchlist" within 2 seconds after completing a page edit. An other common use case is to click the watchlist star within 2 seconds after completing a page edit (if you missed the checkbox under the textarea). As said this applies to all browsers. I tested it with Firefox, Opera and IE8 (all Windows 7). I don't think this is an OS issue. Note: I'm a web developer. I know we need to serve IE users. But it is unacceptable to block UI elements because of a browser with a market share below 5% (according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Explorer_7). If there is no other solution the PostEdit extension must be disabled for IE7 and below. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Wikibugs-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l
