Bug ID: 55925
Summary: Adding parameters now requires clicking in the "Add
parameter" ("Parameter name") field. The cursor
should be placed there automatically.
Product: VisualEditor
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: General
Assignee: jforres...@wikimedia.org
Reporter: wmf.whatamido...@yahoo.com
CC: jforres...@wikimedia.org, krinklem...@gmail.com
Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
Intention: Add a parameter to a template.
Expectation: That the cursor would automatically be present in the "Add
parameter" text field (where it says "Parameter name"), so we could just start
typing without having to reach for the mouse.
Steps to reproduce and results:
1) Add or open any template.
2) Start typing the name of a parameter.
3) Discover that you are no longer able to just start typing the name, but
must first reach for the mouse or trackpad, and then click to put the cursor
inside the only possible place where you might be typing on that screen.
This was reported as a new and undesirable behavior with MediaWiki version
1.22wmf21, by a user who normally uses Firefox 24, Windows 8 and Vector skin
and confirmed in Safari 6 on a Mac.
