Thread:Extension talk:CodeEditor/How to disable?/reply (18)

fwiw... these are my findings @ test2.wikipedia.org under 1.24wmf4 & IE 8. From the chicken bones I can read at Git, it seems more than one "patch" was applied / still needs to be applied but don't hold me to that


 * Settings Key
 * User pref "show edit toolbar" = Option 1
 * User pref "use enhanced toolbar" = Option 2
 * User pref "use wizards and tables..." = Option 3

With all three Options disabled, the previous issue of CodeEditor forcing WikiEditor "on" no longer seems to be an issue. No toolbar, neither old or new, rendered at all so CodeEditor not "present" no. I'd say this is Fixed.

With only Option 1 enabled, the old toolbar appears in all namespaces BUT in those dealing with MediaWiki and Modules. No toolbar of any sort appears in those cases. I'm not sure if this is normal or not (boy do I miss meatspace) and can't recall if I tested for this earlier if ever. Personally don't really care because I never plan to enable the "old" toolbar either way but other folks might take issue with this nevertheless.

From here on, there is no difference between an enabled Option 1 or a disabled Option 1 as long as Option 2 was always enabled at the same. This has always been the normal and intended behavior concerning Option 2 to the best of my knowledge --> An enabled WikiEditor (enabled Option 2) always superseded the old toolbar (enabled Option 1).

That said, all other combination of Options 1, 2 & 3 no longer produce the previous "hangs before I can toggle off" issue & CodeEditor is easily toggled on & off here (plus it stays that way over session logins/logouts). In fact, most other "minor" layout &/or rendering &/or focus issues that drove me to avoid CodeEditor altogether in the first place seem to be gone now too ( damn that last comma?). I'd have to see the same under a full wmf4 deployment to futz with it again - it could just be the watered-down beta site & settings.

Anyway, hope that helped.

One last suggestion - I see there is some "new" feature(s) at the bottom left of the EditBox with a "stop" symbol, a "yield" symbol and an italic letter i. Would be useful to add some pop-up descriptions for each upon a typical mouseover. Where would I find more info on whatever that is. TIA.
