On the German Wiktionary, Opera 9.x is very sluggish in showing what you are typing because of <charinsert> tag(s) in [[wikt:de:MediaWiki:Copyrightwarning]]. If we move the whole stuff from [[wikt:de:MediaWiki:Copyrightwarning]] to [[wikt:de:MediaWiki:Edittools]] it works perfectly. But within [[wikt:de:MediaWiki:Copyrightwarning]] we would have to remove the <charinsert> tags to regain performance! Why does it work when placed in [[wikt:de:MediaWiki:Edittools]] but not when placed in [[wikt:de:MediaWiki:Copyrightwarning]]? We want to have the charinsert stuff right below the edit box, so we need the special characters in MW:CW. Furthermore the error console of Opera 9 shows lines like this (unless we have the stuff within [[wikt:de:MediaWiki:Edittools]]): CSS - http://de.wiktionary.org/w/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Copyrightwarning&action=edit HTML style attribute Declaration syntax error Line 1: font-family: , "Bitstream Vera Sans [bitstream]"; font-size: 1em -------------------------------------------------^ The last two line differ from time to time, see [[wikt:de:Benutzer_Diskussion:Melancholie#Opera-Bug]]. I played around a lot (now archived on [[wikt:de:MediaWiki:Copyrightwarning/Archiv]]), and I think that not only the <charinsert> tags are the problem (maybe also <!-- -->, etc.), but when removing all charinsert tags it works pretty fine! Note: It is not a JavaScript problem (exists even if JS is disabled); W3C validates the edit page; I cannot find any reason in the HTML output file for this bug!
Report the performance bug to Opera.
