Description address.i.do.not.usually.read 2012-06-26 21:18:07 UTC
I saw this on Wikipedia, and I think it may be Wikimedia specific because I can't reproduce it on another MediaWiki installation elsewhere.

In IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet), the tie bar displays incorrectly.

Contrast:

* ɪt͡ʃ
* <span class="IPA">ɪt͡ʃ</span>

The tie bar symbol is meant to go between the two characters that it connects, and in the first case it works (i.e. it overlies the t and ʃ), but when it is inside the span directive, it goes wrong and the tie bar ends up being to the left of the intended location. I see this in both Firefox 12.0 and IE9, both running on Windows 7.

I am listing this as Windows 7 bug as that's all I've tested it on, but other OSs could also be affected.

I copied:

"ɪt͡ʃ
<span class="IPA">ɪt͡ʃ</span>"

into my user page on Wiki, test, and test2. I could not reproduce the erroneous view in IE9, FF17 or Chrome23. I checked on Vista and 7.

Do you still see this error?

An exact web address (URL) to an example for this is highly welcome.

Trying with <html>&#116;​&#865;​&#643;</html> and entering the unicode letters U+0074 U+0361 U+0283 manually I cannot reproduce the problem with Firefox 16 either...
