Topic on 2017 wikitext editor/Feedback

The conversion was a consequence of unknowingly using the "International Phoentic Alphabet - SIL" IME.

Steps to reproduce

1. Open m:User:Kaartic/sandbox
2. Edit as source using the '2017 wikitext editor'
3. Type t= and ]]

Expected results

I see t= and ]] entered in the editor.

Actual results

• t= gets converted to θ
• ]] gets converted to ʼ

Note

This has unintended consequences when trying to manually edit the [[File:...|...]] syntax.

Sounds like you've got an IME or odd user script interacting with input? https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Kaartic/sandbox&diff=17687101&oldid=17686088 worked fine for me…

Seems you're right. Unknowingly the IME switched to "International Phoentic Alphabet - SIL" from the usual"Native keyboard" which seemed to have caused this odd behaviour. Not sure how it got changed but it's fixed now. Thanks!

Kaartic, does it happen to you at other wikis, or if you're logged out/in a private browser window?

I suspect this happens whenever the IME is "International Phoentic Alphabet - SIL" which I didn't realise previously.
