Description Rainer Rillke @commons.wikimedia 2013-07-08 20:41:02 UTC
How to reproduce:
* Go to https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:TimedMediaHandler/Client_download?veaction=edit
* Set the caret behind "supported by the Timed Media Handler extension"
* Try to drag and drop "Support for Ogg Theora and WebM" directy to where you have set the caret.

Current behaviour:
* Selecting not possible (Dropping mode starts immediately like if something is selected but the caret suggests that nothing was selected)

Expected behaviour:
* I can select "Support for Ogg Theora and WebM"

As selecting text is a basic operation, bumping to a major issue.
Comment 3 Krinkle 2013-07-08 20:45:58 UTC
It seems related to the <translate> tag, try it on another page like https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/VisualEditor/Basic_example_worksheet

I tried editing 2 pages on MediaWiki wiki so far and it did not work as I expected. If it can't deal with <translate> tags, it must be disabled on these pages. Thank you.

Hey, sorry for the confusion; merging with bug 50643 which is about disabling Firefox's misleading interface.
