Description

Due to font-weight: bold; being set in .diffchange { font-weight: bold; }, the diff never renders any emoji characters on lines that are changed. This makes it easier for emoji spam to evade the eye of patrollers.

At least in Chrome/Mac, emoji characters aren't shown as they don't have a bold equivalent.

Shows for me on Safari on iPod in both mobile and desktop views - is this just a specific issue with Mac ox by any chance?

A few tests under Linux (Firefox 38, Chromium 43.0.2357.81. midori 0.5.10) all show the collision symbol (aka. U+1F4A5).

Sounds like a Chrome specific bug to me. Glyph fallback should usually just make this work on Mac OS X.

TheDJ moved this task from Backlog to Reported Upstream on the Upstream board.Dec 21 2015, 1:15 PM

TheDJ removed projects: Vector (legacy skin), MediaWiki-User-Interface.

The bug is actually in Skia. Chrome has worked around the bug in version 50.
