VisualEditor does not show a block message for TorBlocks
Open, Needs TriagePublicBUG REPORT

Description

What is the problem?

When using the VisualEditor with Tor, no block message appears.

It does successfully block you from editing.

Steps to reproduce problem
  1. Connect to the internet with Tor (probably the easiest way is to use Tor Browser: https://www.torproject.org/download/)
  2. Go to a wiki with the TorBlock extension (most production wikis I think)
  3. Attempt to edit an article with VisualEditor

Expected behavior: In the edit notices dropdown, you see some sort of message saying you are blocked.
Observed behavior: You cannot edit. There is no message telling you why.
