Redrose64 added a comment to T355914: Change default image thumbnail size.

Given the chosen size is both non-standard (meaning it's not used on most large wikis) and not in the list of thumbnail sizes we pregenerate at upload time

sv.wikipedia has 250px as the logged-out default thumb size. For logged-in users, 220px is not available to select as a user preference. So any Commons image that is used at svwiki must have a 250px thumb already generated.

Five minutes ago it said "15:00 UTC - 16:00 UTC". It's now reading "14:00 UTC - 15: 00 UTC". I get the impression that the devs concerned are in a non-European timezone and don't know how their local TZ relates to UTC. The time as I write this is 14:39 UTC. This is also 14:39 GMT, and 15:39 BST.

Redrose64 added a comment to T135808: "Start editing" popup can't be dismissed without clicking "Start editing".

How do you "manually move the focus to the button"? Tabbing does nothing; hovering over the box (it is not visually styled as a button, so it is not a button but a link with a large hot-spot) changes the mouse pointer to a pointed finger; so it can't be clicked in without actioning the blue "Start editing" link, which, with the presence of the black text "Switch to the visual editor" on the row immediately above, gives the impression that VE will be launched.

Redrose64 added a comment to T135808: "Start editing" popup can't be dismissed without clicking "Start editing".

When first confronted by this, I thought "Ah, a welcome message for an editor with seven years experience and more than 146,000 edits (not to mention being an admin since 2011) - this just has to be them trying to get me to change my methods". So I got the immediate impression that if I clicked "Start editing", I would be forcibly switched to VE (something I had opted out of as soon as it became possible to), and that there was no way of continuing with the proper Wikitext editor. So it needs an obvious dismiss link, or an X at top right, something that makes it clear that you can continue as you were.

This is a security issue. If an admin logs in on a public computer - like in a library or in their office's common area - they try to log out but don't notice that they didn't: then the next person using that machine has admin rights on WP which they probably aren't entitled to.

Redrose64 added a comment to T53303: Notifications: Getting multiple "Thank"s from one user for the same edit is possible (double/duplicate).

OK, I've just managed to send a double thanks when viewing a page history. The first time I clicked "yes", it didn't change to "thanked", so I presumed that my mouse pointer had slipped off the hot spot, so I carefully repositioned it and clicked again. There was again no change, so I checked my thanks log to see if it had gone through - and found these two entries. Upon returning to the page history, I found that the "yes" had changed to "thanked", so there is some sort of delay in updating the screen during which mouse events are still accepted and processed.

It may be entirely expected behavior for you - but where is it documented so that I (and others) might expect it? I also do not know what Upstream is (although Aklapper apparently does), nor who Phacility might be. Please remember that I am not a Phabricator developer, nor even a MediaWiki developer. I'm just an ordinary Wikipedia editor who has been trying to help at WP:VPT for over five years now, with over 3,000 edits to that page alone. At VPT, when somebody reports a problem and we advise people that a task already exists on Phabricator that covers their problem, we would like them to be able to read the whole thread without having to resort to undocumented workarounds in order to do so.

The problem (which still exists, another example below) shows when viewing a Phabricator task, not when (for example) using Wikipedia, that is why I filed it as a Phabricator problem.
