Hallo,

beim markieren eines Textabschnittes, der über mehr als eine angezeigte seite läuft, kommt es beim neuen Wikitext Editor zu Problemen. Beim Markieren von oben nach Unten ist es nicht möglich, nur einen Teil nach unten zu ziehen. Sobald der untere Bildschirmrand erreicht wird, springt der Cursor zum Ende der Seite und markiert die komplette Seite ab dem Punkt, wo gestartet wurde. Beim Markieren von Text von unten nach oben ist es noch kurioser: Starte ich irgendwo und markiere (ziehe also die Maus) nach oben und erreiche dann den oberen Bildschirm rand, springt der Cursor samt seite wieder zum asugangspunkt. Eine Markierung ist daher nicht möglich, es muss auf den alten Wikitext Editor gewechselt werden.

Weiterhin tritt beim einfügen einer kopierten Tabelle (des Quelltextes davon) das Problem auf, dass Leerzellen anscheinend nicht mit eingefügt werden. So verrutscht der Inhalt jedes mal. Da das kopieren einer Tabelle mit verbundenen Zellen auch im VE nicht funktioniert, muss auch hier wieder auf den alten Wikitext Editor zurückgegriffen werden.

@Elitre: Es wäre schön hier wieder phabricator Tasks erstellt werden könnten, ich bin dafür zu blöd.

Grüße


Hello,

there are some porblems in NWE when you try to mark text passages larger then one side. If you try to mark text from top to down, the Cursor will always jump to the end of the whole page if you reach the bottom of the current window, instead of Scrolling down slowly to stop at the Point you want to. If you try to mark text from bottom to top, the Cursor will always jump to it's opening Position if you reach the Header of the text field/edit window. It's not possible to mark text with NWE if the passages are greater then one site.

Additionally, i tried to copy&paste a table from one Wikipedia Project to another language Version of it. The NWE deleted the empty cells. However, the connected cells were lost too. I had to Switch to old wikitext Editor to solve the Problem to paste it, save the page and edit it after that in NWE. There seems to be Problems by inserting the code.

@Eltire: It would be nice if you could start phab-Tasks for that, i am to dumb for that. sorry for this bad englisch, ask me anything if you have Problems understanding what i wrote xD

Best.

Sure, but I appreciate being able to provide specific examples - it makes it easier for others to try and replicate.

Ok, lets suppose you want to edit the site https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overwatch_(video_game)?veaction=editsource#Accolades on english wikipedia. If u try to mark a big text pasage like the first two sections from bottom up to top, the browser always jumps to the cursor position where you started. It is not importand which text passages you want to mark. It happens to all, with and without wiki-syntax.

The 2nd thing, top to down, is a bit harder, it didn't jump to the bottom of the page, it is hopping large, large text passages down. You can't really do accuracy work if this happens. It is a bit frustrating and i switched to old wikitext editor to "solve" the problem and switched back after i finsihed my work.

I hope it's more clear now, if you need a video to get necessary information, i can upload on later that day. Thanks a lot. Best

The editor is also making weird jumps for me, in particular when trying to shift+select text with keyboard or pasting text in mobile, it sometimes will randomly jump to the start of the line.

I cannot reliably reproduce it, so I can't produce a clearer bug report; but the editor should never move the cursor insertion point automatically, that's always unexpected behavior.

A first solution is to hold down the left mouse button and use the middle mouse button to scroll up or down. That seem to work for me. But it isn't really comfotable. Best
