Approved and deployed by Roan (pinged by MatmaRex), verified working on it.wiki. Thanks!

(Canceling backport request because I can't set it to granted... Anyway the flag didn't help here.)

I have one report from one user that this bug is still not fixed for him.
https://it.wikipedia.org/?diff=65832029&oldid=65554079
I only managed to discover that he uses Internet Explorer, no idea of version/OS/screenshots.

Yeah, that's probably bug 65224, which apparently affects all IE versions
from 6 through 11. As far as I can tell the code is correct now, but it doesn't work on IE; I haven't yet had the time to investigate why.

There is also a slightly related patch at https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/127358 which will enable standard tooltips for the autocompletion list entries (full page title in the 'title' attribute, displayed as a tooltip on hover) which will make the IE bug less problematic if it's merged.
