Bug ID: 51785
Summary: wikitext markup warning shows at top of page, instead
of toolbar, so it's not visible
Product: VisualEditor
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: General
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
CC: [email protected], [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
When you type "[[" in visual editor, there is a "wiki markup text" popu (nice
touch - Thanks, devs).
However, this warning popup shows at top of page, so it's not visible when the
page is scrolled even a few lines.
VE toolbar floats at the top of the browser's page even when we edit at the
middle of the article. the warning popu should do the same.
REPRODUCTION INSTRUCTIONS
0) open [[en:The Rolling Stones]]
1) select one of the sections from the TOC
2) Click "Edit"
3) wait, wait, wait, wait...
4) close the edit notice
5) type "[["
EXPECTED
1) during the wait (3 above) there is a nice image asking you to wait: this
image is expected to be visible
2) when the "edit notice" shows up, you expect some clear way to close it.
3) when typing "[[", you expect the "wikitext warning" popup to show up
WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPEN
1) the "please wait" image appears, but unfortunately it's outside the screen,
so you do not know why the page appears milky, and have no indication that this
would eventually end.
2) depending on your luck, clicking on various parts of the page *will* close
the edit notice (if you're lucky), or will take you to
[[en:Template:Editnotices/Page/The Rolling Stones]] (i.e., another page from
the one you are trying to edit) if you're unlucky.
3) the warning popup appears, but it's at the top of the page, so unless you
are editing the very first part of the page, you do not see it.
COMMENTS:
1) VE is clever enough to have its toolbar visible even when scrolling down,
using "position:fixed". same should be done for the "please wait" image and for
the warning popup(s).
2) the "1 notice" and the warning triangle on the toolbar should indicate that
they are the gate to hiding the notice: e.g., change the "1 Notice" text to
"Hide notice" when the notice is visible.
3) it seems that the wikitext notice is not yet translated to all languages.
peace.
