Dear All,
There is a common workflow to file uploads: type in the name of the file [[File:Filename.ext]] in the wikipage, save it, click on the link, select the file for upload and hit upload, then go back to the original page.
With 1.16b3, for some reason, when you select the file, it renames the destination filename! What a pain! So to add to my misery: I now have to select the file name and copy to clipboard, select the file, and then paste the original destination filename.
Anyone else observed this? Any solutions? How did a broken system just get... brokener?

I believe this was a regression in the security fix for 1.16b3. It was fixed in trunk in r68236, but it hasn't been backported (yet). It's a one-line fix, so you can just patch your wiki by hand in the meantime: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:Code/MediaWiki/68236
