On Special:Preferences all sections except the current should be hidden via Javascript. This seems to be broken with 1.19. I tested with Firefox 3.6.x on mw: and simple: and all sections are visible, as if no Javascript was present. It works in debug mode (i.e. when appending ?debug=true to the URL), and it works on beta.wmflabs. The Javascript is loaded (I get the file https://bits.wikimedia.org/www.mediawiki.org/load.php?debug=false&lang=en&modules=ext.UserBuckets|ext.translate.selecttoinput|jquery.autoEllipsis%2CcheckboxShiftClick%2CclickTracking%2CcollapsibleTabs%2CdelayedBind%2ChighlightText%2Cjson%2CmakeCollapsible%2Cmw-jump%2Cplaceholder%2Csuggestions%2CtabIndex|mediawiki.action.watch.ajax|mediawiki.api%2Chtmlform%2Cuser|mediawiki.api.watch|mediawiki.legacy.mwsuggest|mediawiki.page.ready|mediawiki.special.preferences&skin=vector&version=20120217T090945Z&*https://bits.wikimedia.org/www.mediawiki.org/load.php?debug=false&lang=en&modules=ext.UserBuckets|ext.translate.selecttoinput|jquery.autoEllipsis%2CcheckboxShiftClick%2CclickTracking%2CcollapsibleTabs%2CdelayedBind%2ChighlightText%2Cjson%2CmakeCollapsible%2Cmw-jump%2Cplaceholder%2Csuggestions%2CtabIndex|mediawiki.action.watch.ajax|mediawiki.api%2Chtmlform%2Cuser|mediawiki.api.watch|mediawiki.legacy.mwsuggest|mediawiki.page.ready|mediawiki.special.preferences&skin=vector&version=20120217T090945Z&*, with the code that should hide the sections) but apparently isn't executed. There are no errors in the Javascript error log. Clearing the cache doesn't help.
Seeems fine on Chrome 19 and FF 10 You do see a flash of it incorrectly formatted before the JS etc is loaded in.. You've also pasted the urls without any (enough?) whitespace between them. So it looks like one REALLY long url ;)
I checked FF 9 and IE7 and Special:Preferences looked fine in both. I did notice that the tabs other than "User profile" take a moment to load, but otherwise was fine.
I confirmed the bug in Firefox 3.6.16. Works with debug=true and in newer versions of Firefox.
Seems to be a race condition. If I do a hard reload with debug=true it renders correctly. But if I do a soft reload with debug=true it renders incorrectly.
The ResourceLoader module involved is mediawiki.special.preferences which is defined in resources/Resources.php. This module loads resources/mediawiki.special/mediawiki.special.preferences.js with no dependencies declared.
Hopefully fixed in r111802. Unfortunately, I can't reproduce the race condition in my local MediaWiki install (in Firefox 3), so we won't know for sure if this fixes it until it is deployed to simple.wikipedia.org.
Confirmed fixed on simple.wikipedia.org in Firefox 3.6.16.
