What is FoxPro? I assume it's a browser? The Web seems to think it's a coding environment…

Firefox after autocorrect, either that or somebody needs coffee. I have now succeeded on one occasion, possibly whoever was doing those typos was misusing tables beyond your imagination, my one success was in a cell that could have been tweeted, the earlier ones included entire episode plot summaries.

Hope all is well in California, would you like some of our rain?

I've corrected it.

Were those tables built out of templates, by any chance?

Not sure and won't be able to check easily for a couple of days till I get back to a PC. If you look at my last 100 or so main space edits and exclude the hotcat and V/E ones it might be quite easy to find - I was fixing typos and wound up on some pop culture topic.

Sorry not to be more specific, but I was using find so won't have seen the article apart from a paragraph or two around the typo.

The table seems to be editable to me in Firefox, Chrome, Opera and Safari (but tested on a Mac). Is it still occurring?

Re-open if still reproduceable

I am having the same issue in the Wikipedia article The Real Housewives of Orange County (season 12). Do I open a new task?
