Thanks for the report. Can you please provide numbered steps to reproduce and a wiki in which we can observe the reported behavior?
Comment Actions
- Go to a wiki where ULS is installed (for example https://fr.wikipedia.org/, where I saw this bug)
- Turn on livePreview in user’s preferences (Editing/Advanced options/Use live preview)
- Go to an article and edit it. Yo can see this icon in the 'Languages' toolbox
- Click on 'Show preview' button.
- When the preview is complete, there is no more icon.

[edit conflict]
- Enable "Use live preview (requires JavaScript) (experimental)" at
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-editing
- Go to
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random?action=edit
and notice the icon is there.
- Click "Show preview" and see the icon disappear.

I'm moving this to MediaWiki core. I do not think it makes sense in ULS to support experimental features until they are more stable. In fact I believe live preview is candidate for removal in favour of visual editor.

I'm moving this to MediaWiki core. I do not think it makes sense in ULS to
support experimental features until they are more stable. In fact I believe
live preview is candidate for removal in favour of visual editor.
I don't see a reason for that: if wikitext will continue to be editable directly even after VisuaEditor, why shouldn't the user be allowed to preview the change without reloading the whole page?

This depends on a core bug, but will require (very minor) changes in ULS to be fixed. Moving back.
