Vector 2022: edit preview is ignoring limited width choice (done by toggle or by Preferences)
Closed, DuplicatePublicBUG REPORT

Description

Steps to replicate the issue (include links if applicable):

  • open a random article, for exemple this one
  • activate the full width using the toggle located on the bottom right of the screen, or unchecking the "Enable limited width mode" mode [[Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-rendering|in your Preferences]]
  • click on "Edit source"
  • then click on the button "Show preview"

What happens?:

  • after a fraction of second at full width, the preview shows the width of the content limited.

What should have happened instead?:

  • preview should retain the choice done by the user via the limited width toggle.

Software version (skip for WMF-hosted wikis like Wikipedia):
