@kostajh @Tgr @Catrope -- I think the real issue here is that the blue dot should disappear when the user clicks either edit button, even if it's not the one the dot is on. Is this the sort of thing that is super easy to change? If not, we might not do it now.

It's pretty straightfforward to add in. I guess it might be confusing from a user perspective, though, because ultimately don't we want the user to click the Edit tab and not Edit source? I see the pulsing blue dot as an additional indicator to the user that they should be in VE and not wikitext.

As an alternative would it be OK to handle this specific scenario? I pushed a patch which accomplishes that -- the user clicked Edit Source instead of Edit, they click "Switch to visual editor", the blue dot goes away during that session. (But it would come back the next time they view the same task type, until they actually click "Edit" and not "Edit source"; I could change that in the patch too if you prefer.)

@kostajh -- your patch sounds fine. Let's do that. Thank you.

Works as described in @kostajh comment - checked in betalabs.
