Correct screen shot

seen on meta

IE9 seems fine, in and out of compatibility mode

Seems to be specific to Meta, and quite possibly caused by some site JS there. Not clear whether it's related to 1.19 at all.

I could only reproduce this on meta, not simple wikipedia (which is also running 1.19) so it's possibly a local script issue. No idea how to track that down though.

This doesn't seem to actually prevent editing in IE7 on meta. I see a JS error, but there's nothing preventing loading of the page, and I can go right ahead and edit and save.

as of Feb 21, both logged-in and not-logged-in users may edit on test2 using IE7.

however, IE7 still shows the "Access denied" error for "Line 51" upon loading any page. This is fairly annoying, especially for any users who may have "Always display... errors" checked in the browser.

Hmm, I get a mystery error in IE7 for any page when logged in on test2.wikipedia.org, but not when logged out.

In IE 8, I see that there's a CentralNotice banner that shows when logged in, but not when logged out. I don't see that banner when logged in on IE7, so it may be that some of these errors that happen on any page are from CentralNotice, and have nothing to do with editing.

Line: 9
Char: 520
Error: Could not complete the operation due to error 80020101.
Code: 0
URL: http://test2.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page

I've not seen any "operation aborted" messages anywhere.

Ok, also shown is:

Line: 51
Char: 3
Error: Access is denied.
Code: 0
URL: http://test2.wikipedia.org/wiki/Test_page

Neither occurs in IE 8.

Resolving WORKSFORME and opening a separate one for CentralNotice on IE7.

Broken out new errors as bug 34572 -- this seems to happen on 1.18 as well (en.wikipedia.org).
