Contributions page: DirMark eats the space after page name in Opera 9.51
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Author: alexsm333

Description:
Since rev 24687 SpecialContributions.php appends a DirMark control character after page name.

For some reason this causes Opera 9.51 to hide the following space character, so the comment now appears right after the page name (with no space between them).

Also, minor inconvenience: users sometimes copy/paste page name together with this DirMark character.


Version: 1.13.x
Severity: normal

  • "For some reason this causes Opera 9.51 to hide the following space character": this sounds like a bug in Opera. Please report it upstream.
  • "users sometimes copy/paste page name together with this DirMark character": any suggestions on how to fix that?

Adding cc to Rotem on this.

The first bug is bug 15127, which was fixed.

About the second bug: I think that if a user copies and pastes the direction mark with the page and places it between brackets ([[A]]), the direction mark is ignored and the title is normalized, so the link still works. Is it so?

Yes, the resulting character is ignored inside the link, so the only little annoyance is that in Opera it's visible in the editing window as "‎".
