Description Jackie 2010-05-19 05:03:38 UTC
After enabling RevisionDelete, in the history page "compare selected revisions" don't work under W2k/IE6 (latest IE versions unavailable for Windows 2000). Error text:
Invalid target revision.

You have either not specified a target revision(s) to perform this function, the specified revision does not exist, or you are attempting to hide the current revision.

Return to Main page.

Are you sure you clicked proper button?

It looks you didn't click button on the left "Compare selected revesions", but you clicked button on the right "Show/hide selected revisions".
Comment 2 Tom N 2010-05-19 23:53:55 UTC
I have noticed that the default button (activated when you press enter) has changed from "Compare selected revisions" to "Del/undel selected revisions".

From the history page, I used to be able to select a pair of from/to radio buttons and press enter to display the diff page.  Now the same procedure submits a revisiondelete request that results in an "Invalid target revision" error.  I think such a change in behavior is dangerous.  Luckily, conditions weren't right for the revisiondelete to process to completion.

Not sure if this is what Jackie encountered.
Comment 3 Jackie 2010-05-20 05:48:57 UTC
I press "old" button "Compare selected revisions", but it work like pressing "Show/hide selected revision". Boxes about revision I don't touch.
Comment 4 Nemo 2010-09-12 08:48:46 UTC
Changing summary and platform because "show/hide" shouldn't be the default button as it is currently on all platforms (I suppose; it is so also with Firefox).
Perhaps this makes also actual buttons not work for some IE error.

Seems to be fixed. I cannot reproduce this behaviour with modern browsers (FF 4, IE 8, Chrome 10)
Comment 7 Strainu 2011-03-29 14:37:32 UTC
It's fixed ok, but FYI it did not reproduce only on legacy browsers. I reproduced it in FF3.6 and IE8.
