Description Maggie Dennis 2013-07-03 20:39:47 UTC
I apologize for the lousy name this is starting off with - I have no idea what toc all this.

Taken from English Wikipedia:

Time for another "Why did you even try this"? kind of bug. (Tested on Firefox 22, Mono)

'''Steps to Reproduct'''
* Edit the [[bugonia]] article using the visual editor.
* Click the "Aristeas and bugonia. Virgil's Georgics. Lyon. 1517" image, which is about halfway down the article.
* There is an uneditable section a bit higher. It starts with the text "If any further evidence is necessary". Click that one.
* Now click the hyperlink button. A slight white block will appear on the image.
* Select any other word in the image and click the hyperlink button.

For some reason the hyperlink dialog box will now show up on the image, no matter what word you select. After trying a few times it seems to tire of that and starts jumping over the screen at random when a word is selected. The added screenshot is an example of this - it tried to hide behind the search box. Excirial (Contact me,Contribs) 19:37, 3 July 2013 (UTC)

I believe that this is now fixed, but I'm not quite sure. Please re-open if you can give a current example.
