Issue confirmed. It's more specific though: only occurs when there is only a single available license, ie when the user cannot choose. Will have a look at this.
I have a report that this bug appears again: https://ro.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Discu%C8%9Bie_Utilizator:Strainu&oldid=6317080#Upload
Changing severity. Please see http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Bug_management/Bugzilla_usage#Severity.
The patch has been merged, we'll deploy it sometime this week and it should be good from there. Standby.
All right, it looks like we got it merged and deployed, and presumably it's fixed now! Please test, if you find it not working, confirm that the wiki you tested on was in fact running a version of UW with the patch merged, then reopen. Thanks all!
