Description This, that and the other (TTO) 2013-08-20 11:00:45 UTC
Testing the hieroglyphics feature on MW.org just now:

1. Open VE and select some text
2. Click "Hieroglyphics" button

Why can I "apply" hieroglyphics to a run of text, as if it was a kind of formatting? Doesn't make any sense.

3. Type some hiero codes (e.g. G26-t:Z4-A40) in the box
4. Leave the popup (by clicking away/clicking the < button)

The popup goes blank and can't be dismissed (Firefox 23).
Also notice that no hieroglyphics are seen.

5. Review changes.

The hiero tag successfully appears in the wikitext, even though it is invisible in VE.

Sorry for three issues in one bug, but I guess you guys can figure this out.
Comment 1 This, that and the other (TTO) 2013-09-22 04:50:33 UTC
The second and third issues are now fixed. However, you can still "apply" hieroglyphics (and LaTeX) to a run of text: this behavior is confusing and nonsensical.
Comment 2 Ed Sanders 2013-12-06 13:38:40 UTC
I can't reproduce any of these issues in Chrome or Firefox. Please re-open with details if you can.
