A number of users have complained about VisualEditor not working out-of-the-box for MW 1.35.0 (even on fresh install). [1][2][3]
Is this a known issue (i.e. actually a bug)? And has a solution been shared yet?
Sorry if this is the wrong place. It just seems (to me) like it is not accepted as an actual bug yet, despite a number of feedbacks. Feel free to reply to the onsite pages.
My impression has been that if you have the simplest possible setup, then everything does work out-of-the-box.
But if you have configured any of many reasonable things (e.g. you have some hardened security settings, or you're running multiple wikis, or you have a caching proxy in front of your site), then you might also need to configure VisualEditor with that in mind.
Unfortunately our documentation for configuring VisualEditor is lacking. You could probably consider that a bug, even if most of the issues being reported don't actually require any code changes on our side to fix.
