Description Danny B. 2009-11-04 21:52:14 UTC 
Since the new preferences system has been turned on, new gadgets are not being saved in preferences, so no new gadget can be used at all.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Create any new gadget, say some simple css - it doesn't matter what.
2. Check the gadget in preferences and save.

What will happen:
1. The gadget remains unchecked.
2. The gadget isn't applied at all.

What should happen:
1. The gadget should be checked.
2. The gadget should do desired changes where applicable.

----

Categorizing as MediaWiki -> User preferences rather than MediaWiki Extensions -> Gadgets, since it's most probably caused by new preferences system rather than by gadgets code.

I'm not able to reproduce this on my local wiki, can you give me an example? (wiki and gadget's name)
Comment 2 Danny B. 2009-11-07 20:21:37 UTC 
According to some recent observation it seems that the problem happens, when gadget name is longer than certain (yet unknown) number of characters.
