Description Jeandré 2011-09-13 21:25:23 UTC
device: Blackberry Bold 9000
operating system: v5.0.0.592
browser: Internet Browser (default Blackberry browser)
Javascript support: selected or not, doesn't matter
browser identification: Blackberry 
default view: Column or Page, doesn't matter

How to replicate: Go to an article with several sections, e.g. <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Libya>. You're taken instead to <http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Libya>. Scroll down to the 2nd section "History" and click the "Show" button. A random page is loaded, e.g. "Bob Myrick", or when going back and clicking "Show" again: "Road safety audit".

What should happen instead: the section is shown when clicking the "Show" button.

Workaround 1: The sections aren't hidden when the browser identification is set to Firefox, but not everyone may know how to set that, and if done it leads to logs showing more Firefox readers and less Blackberry readers, suggesting that not enough people are using Blackberries to read the site and it's therefor not worth fixing for them.

Workaround 2: At the bottom, the link to "View this page on regular Wikipedia" shows all the information in all the sections.

I'm from South Africa, part of the "global south".

I think this is a duplicate of a known problem.

Thanks for the report Jeandré. Were having some trouble reproducing this bug. Could you join us on irc (freenode) #wikimedia-mobile to help debug  further?

Bug #28862 is the one I was thinking of.  It is very similar if not identical.
