WikiEditor scrolls the browser and does not insert on IE8 on Windows 7 https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/32241
Reported November 7, but repro'd on three different machines. This seems like a problem we should also be fixing in deployment.
I'll see if I can reproduce this... my Windows 7 VM has had IE9 installed since it came out, though, so don't know how hard it'll be to get IE8.
WikiEditor not enabled: * Windows XP SP 3 with IE 6
No problems if window is tall enough to fit the entire textarea at initial scroll position: * Windows XP SP3 with IE 7 * Windows XP SP3 with IE 8 * Windows 7 with IE 8 * Windows 7 with IE 9
If window not tall enough: first click scrolls down, second click inserts '''Bold''' at an unexpected position: * Windows XP SP3 with IE 7 * Windows XP SP3 with IE 8 * Windows 7 with IE 8
If window not tall enough: first click does cause scroll, but sets the focus and cursor where we expect it; second click inserts '''Bold''' at caret position at start of page: * Windows 7 with IE 9
Looks like WikiEditor on 1.17 had about the same behavior (though significantly worse, as the 'window tall enough' cases still didn't work consistently).
The worst case seems to come if your window just isn't big enough to fit the textarea at all -- then even when focused in there things break.
