@matmarex, this is not quite the same phenomenon I observed in T89892. On my setup (Chrome/Ubuntu), the "beta" suffix (both on the tab and the section links) shows up initially in regular font size, and then is replaced with the superscript version. I don't see the edit tab jumping around as in the animation. Probably same root cause, but wanted to point out the difference, and clarify that it applies to the section edit links as well.

Eloquence raised the priority of this task from Lowest to Low.Feb 19 2015, 2:13 AM

Eloquence moved this task from Freezer to TR6: Visual diffs on the VisualEditor board.

This would go away if we resolved T60583: Disable "Beta" suffixes on tabs for VisualEditor opt-in wikis…
