Description Patrick James McGuire 2012-03-14 23:25:15 UTC
On http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frederick_William_II_of_Prussia instead of title  <span dir="auto">Frederick William II of Prussia</span> is displayed.

This holds for http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultima_Underworld:_The_Stygian_Abyss as well

You should make things more accessible, I cam't believe there aren't 100,000 reports of similar bugs

Both Chrome 19.0.1068.0 and FF 10.0.2/11 are fine

"All * broken" is probably not the best way to start a bug report, especially if what you're claiming is something that, by your own admission, would have been noticed by a meaningful fraction of the human race and reported by a good part of them. The fact that you're the first one to notice (what did you notice, exactly?) should really be an indication that either you're misinterpreting expected behavior as incorrect, or the bug is somewhat less obvious than you think it is. Either way, you need to be a whole lot more specific.
Comment 5 Mark A. Hershberger 2012-03-15 01:16:20 UTC
WFM, reopen with specifics if you have 'em.
Comment 6 MZMcBride 2012-03-17 14:36:14 UTC
Another report of this. Mark: bad close.

Comment 9 Jarry1250 2012-03-17 15:03:01 UTC
Didn't we decide this behaviour was the result of the StumbleUpon extension? Or is that just me going made?

I don't know who "we" is or where this discussion allegedly took place. The bug was closed with the comment "WFM, reopen with specifics if you have 'em." and yours is the first comment to mention StumbleUpon.

My apologies, I presumed the discussion was on Bugzilla. In fact, checking my history, the discussion was in fact on the English Wikipedia's VPT; it involved tracking this bug back to the StumbleUpon addon, presenting a workaround, and reporting the bug upstream to StumbleUpon.

See, for example, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_%28technical%29/Archive_97#Odd_article_headers .
Comment 12 MZMcBride 2012-03-17 21:37:04 UTC
This bug is invalid.

<span>s inside an <h1> are perfectly valid, if not a bit strange.

<h1 id="firstHeading" class="firstHeading"><span dir="auto"><i>Ultima Underworld: The Stygian Abyss</i></span></h1>

This is the current code that's causing problems. It could probably be changed to...

<h1 id="firstHeading" class="firstHeading" dir="auto"><i>Ultima Underworld: The Stygian Abyss</i></h1>

... but there's nothing with the current implementation (and there may be a specific reason a <span> was chosen, I don't know the history here.

Users experiencing this problem should look at the link helpfully provided by Jarry in comment 11. Basically if you're using Firefox and the StumbleUpon extension and you experience this issue, you can disable the extension or modify its settings. Hopefully the StumbleUpon extension devs will properly fix this issue in a future release (if it hasn't been fixed already).

If anyone experiences this bug and is not using Firefox+StumbleUpon, please feel free to re-open.
