Description

Show preview stopped working in IE 11.

Error message in the console:

SCRIPT5022: SyntaxError
ve.utils.js (1201,2)
XML5632: Only one root element is allowed.
Line: 16, Column 2

This might not happen on all pages, but I see it on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Matma_Rex/sandbox.

Event Timeline

I've had this occur across the board in (I think) every namespace for the past couple of months, so it probably is unrelated to the other task. My comment from there:

I have an install of IE11 on Windows 7 at work and I am still seeing the hanging behavior today on en.WP (wmf10 was merged as expected) even after clearing my cache and doing a hard refresh.

It looks like I don't have access to console either else I would try to get a snapshot out of there (group policy? dumb....).
