Bug ID: 52669
Summary: After "wikimarkup" popup, save button temporarily does
not work
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: ---
An editor reports that he lost his work when an extensive edit unexpectedly
triggered the "wikimarkup" popup and - after he dismissed it - the "save"
button became unresponsive. The button appeared as normal but did not react to
being selected.
He was using Windows 7 and Firefox.
I reproduced this using Windows 7 and Chrome (didn't matter if I removed the
wikimarkup or not), and on further investigation found that the "save" button
will respond as expected after a delay.
The issue, of course, is that if this editor aborted his edit because he
thought the system would not save, others are likely to think that as well.
Not sure if anything can be done to make the save button immediately responsive
or to figure out why it wouldn't be or to make it apparent to editors that the
option to "save" will return.
The conversation can be found here:
