How it should be: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:MediaWiki_1.22.5_search_autocomplete.png How it is: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:MediaWiki_search_autocomplete.png 17.46 < MatmaRex> Nemo_bis: huh, that's a bug, it's supposed to expand to up to 3x the normal width if necessary Reported at https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Bar/Discussioni/Ricerca_e_autocompletamento ; probably byproduct of the fixes for bug 59172.
I'm somewhat relieved to see I search bug I probably didn't cause.

Approved and deployed by Roan (pinged by MatmaRex), verified working on it.wiki. Thanks! (Canceling backport request because I can't set it to granted... Anyway the flag didn't help here.)
I have one report from one user that this bug is still not fixed for him. https://it.wikipedia.org/?diff=65832029&oldid=65554079 I only managed to discover that he uses Internet Explorer, no idea of version/OS/screenshots.
Yeah, that's probably bug 65224, which apparently affects all IE versions from 6 through 11. As far as I can tell the code is correct now, but it doesn't work on IE; I haven't yet had the time to investigate why. There is also a slightly related patch at https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/127358 which will enable standard tooltips for the autocompletion list entries (full page title in the 'title' attribute, displayed as a tooltip on hover) which will make the IE bug less problematic if it's merged.
