In preferences there is an option allowing you to specify if you want to be taken to an article or section edit page if you double click on the article/section. I do not have this selected as I like to double click on words and then use the (right click) context menu to take me to dictionaries or google search on that word. So today, I double clicked on a word to highlight it, and the wikipedia software decided to take me to the edit page, which I don't want. It is very aggravating too. :) I suspect there is a missing or bad conditional somewhere ( i.e. someone has screwed up an: if (optionEditOnDoubleClick.selected()){} or whatever the code looks like, but you get the idea).
Works for me... Try disabling any gadgets/custom js you have enabled to make sure its not something like that.
(In reply to comment #1) > Works for me... > > Try disabling any gadgets/custom js you have enabled to make sure its not > something like that. I have noscript in which I have whitelisted Wikipedia. I have no custom js going on. When you say 'works for me' do you mean that if you double click it allows you to edit? Or if you double click it doesn't make you edit? Because I don't want it to take me to an edit page if I double click.
I can't duplicate this now. Never mind.
