Tested in betalabs.

(2) "Load more" button is displayed on the inviting search screen (the button when clicked does not do anything).
Steps to reproduce:

  • enter a search term that produce many results (so there will be "Load more") - e.g. "rose"
  • when the results are displayed, click on 'X' in the search field to dismiss the search results. The "Load more" button will be displayed.

Is the solution to this: stop supporting IE11?

Is the solution to this: stop supporting IE11?

Once https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T272104 is merged, we may want to consider exactly that...

Yeah - the second part of this (hiding the load more button when it shouldn't be there) is easy enough to be worth it, but correcting the image aspect ratios will mean the addition of a bunch of CSS that we don't need for any modern browsers. I'd recommend we do the second part but wait on or eliminate the first part.

I'll be re-testing the ticket today and posting the results here. I feel that some of the issues do not exist anymore on IE11.

Re-tested in commons wmf.32 - all issues listed in the task are not present anymore.

Filed T275933: [M] [wmf.32] IE 11 Special:MediaSearch UI issues for the new issues.
