Mediawiki 1.35: Sidebar sections shown collapsed with a line through instead of an arrow
Open, Needs TriagePublic

Description

I recently upgraded my organization's test Mediawiki installation to LTS version 1.35 in preparation of a similar upgrade on the production system. The upgrade was completed successfully, but I noticed a graphical problem with the sidebar after installing the Mediawiki 1.35 release of version 0.1.10 of the CollapsibleVector extension. After one of the test wiki authors confirmed the problem, further investigation showed that the sidebar displayed correctly with CollapsibleVector disabled.

The arrow that was previously shown beside each level one bullet and section header is no longer present, and instead a line is shown through each. The sections can be expanded and collapsed correctly, but the line is drawn through the section header when expanded, which does not appear to be intentional. This will also likely confuse the users of this wiki, as the arrow clearly communicated that a section is currently collapsed or expanded.

See the below screenshots for how each sidebar section is shown collapsed and expanded.
