When an IP tries to edit Main Page, the white background is displayed instead of the usual grey background. However, IPs can't edit the page. Noticed only after the recent MediaWiki upgrade. Tested using Firefox 2 and IE7 under Win XP. MediaWiki version when testing: 1.10alpha (r21409).
Firefox seems to be the only browser on my computer that makes uneditable text boxes have gray or brown backgrounds. I don't notice this behavior in Opera or IE at all. Is this something we do? It looks like browser behavior to me.
I retested it with a different computer. The results are different. The white background is there when using IE6 (Win XP No SP2). The gray background is there when using Firefox 2 (Win XP No SP2).
This is browser-dependent behavior.
