I see, thanks for the tip. Update the MW was my plan B, but I was quite reluctant to do so.

I am experiencing the problem under 1.13.3, but not under 1.17.0. I am not quite ready to upgrade the wiki running 1.13.3 (wiki family configuration) due to some unresolved upgrade issues from 1.17.0, so I am looking for a tweak. If anyone could spare me the trouble of comparing tons of files, I'd appreciate it.

I continued to Google and found a hack such that I don't have to upgrade immediately to fix this.

  • Edit skins/common/wikibits.js
  • Find these two lines and comment them out:
//var is_khtml = navigator.vendor == 'KDE' ||
// ( document.childNodes && !document.all && !navigator.taintEnabled );

I found the answer at Mozillazine, courtesy of 'jusix'.

For the record, it's filed as bugzilla:31807. Users can also work around it using Adblock to block */monobook/KHTMLFixes.css.

Julie, thanks for pointing me the .js patch solution, I've implemented it tonight.

Thanks Julie, it works with your solution. But, we also commented

//            } else if (is_khtml) {
//                           document.write('<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="'+stylepath+'/'+skin+'/KHTMLFixes.css">');

I just commented these other two lines out two, for completeness.
