Description wmdv 2013-07-14 01:22:39 UTC

I changed the word "you" to "your" by inserting an "r," in [[Gerrit/Tutorial]], but the edit summary said I inserted 10 characters, and the [https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Gerrit/Tutorial&diff=prev&oldid=732497 diff report] showed about 15 lines, with various things shifted around.  I was using Chrom on Windows 8.

I reported this on the support page, and 88.130.86.210‎17:17, July 13, 2013 reverted my edit, and suggested I file a bug report. [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Thread:Project:Support_desk/Extensive_diff_report. Support desk resolution.]

I have also been noticing that when a change comes up on my Wikipedia watch list, I sometimes have difficulty telling what an editor did, because the diff report is full of unmodified content.

Comment 1 wmdv 2013-07-14 01:28:13 UTC

The url for the support desk case is [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Thread:Project:Support_desk/Extensive_diff_report.]

Comment 2 wmdv 2013-07-14 01:30:14 UTC

I am unable to enter the correct url, because it ends with a period, which seems to confuse bugzilla.

Comment 3 Jesús Martínez Novo (Ciencia Al Poder) 2013-07-14 11:13:37 UTC

Trying to manually encode the dot again... It didn't work even on the URL field.

Very odd corruption; assigning.
