Pre-fetching of images and categories does not work anymore

Hello all.

After upgrading to MW1.26.2 the WYSIWYG Editor still works. VisualEditor is not really an option if you use wiki inside a company. The FCKEditor implementation is still the best to handle a mediawiki which is not full of special coding extensions and has the scope of being as user-friendly as possible towards non-it employees.

In the past if you click on the image icon or the category icon there was a popup which displays all images/categories you currently have. When you start searching the results get continiously adjusted. In MW1.26.2 this does not work anymore (for me). It remains "searching..." ... I have no idea how this pre-fetching works, but maybe a simple URL rewrite rule, or a change to path could fix it. If someone could point me into the right direction? Would be great!

Thanks, Oliver

What is your environment (php, mysql, wysiwyg) and what browser and version are you using?

Are you sure WYSIWYG works with MW1.26.2, because when I try it, I can only open wikipage one time in WYSIWYG with Chrome and FireFox. Second time will not open the page in WYSIWYG anymore, html code is opened in wikieditor. IE11 seems to work little better.

Source button and toggle link works one time in direction wysiwyg => wikieditor. When mode is tried to change back from source view to wysiwyg mode, editor will not open anymore and it is showing text "page is loading..." but it will never finish.

Problems are mainy caused by the fact that in MW1.26 all javascripts are now loaded asynchronically. It may happen that js module is not loaded when some function related to it is already called causing loading of page fail.

You should try latest version of WYSIWYG with 1.26.x f.ex Version 1.5.6_0 [B551+30.04.2016] (version should be at least >= "Version 1.5.6_0 [B551++27.03.2016]").
