Description Derk-Jan Hartman 2012-08-09 10:58:27 UTC
There has been a slow and highly confusing set of reports about switching tabs of the preferences failing, apparently limited to certain versions of IE (at least IE8).

Possibly the following changeset is to blame:

Vector skin btw.
Comment 2 Derk-Jan Hartman 2012-08-09 14:09:41 UTC
from https://gist.github.com/1599740

// Note that IE8 running in IE7 compatibility mode reports true for 'onhashchange' in window, 
// even though the event isn't supported, so also test document.documentMode.

https://github.com/yearofmoo/MooTools-onhashchange.js/blob/master/onhashchange.js

has some talk about IE6 and IE7 issues with setting window.location.hash

Since we changed methodology on that as well, might be worth looking into.

Is this still an issue now that bug 41792 comment 10 is fixed?
