It is, however, a problem with the change - if the functionality is hidden, and if there is a real need for it, then that is a problem. Given that this is a somewhat heavy-handed js workaround, I would hope that there is indeed a real need for it if it is to be added to core. > "And once someone does figure it out and shares the knowledge, then the > expectation in general will change and that will just result in more > confusion > when dealing with other, normal, buttons." > > I just don't think that's likely.

In many cases this may already be expected behaviour, as modern browsers (chrome and opera, at least) support such functionality already, but as most people indeed do not know about this at all, of course it will not confuse them. If some people want this and it's not supposed to affect others, why does it belong in core? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes. _______________________________________________ Wikibugs-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l
