Description

Per: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_(technical)#Unwanted_space_after_character_I_click_on

If English Wikipedia IE8 users use the MediaWiki:Edittools.js to insert a character into the editor. They get an extra space character after the character they have inserted. This behavior started around February 10th, and present to users who are not in the Beta.

According to one user this problem does not present if http://bits.wikimedia.org/w/extensions/UsabilityInitiative/js/plugins.combined.min.js is not included into the source, which it is, even for non-beta people.

I forgot to mention this at the Village pump discussion, but it's an issue for IE7 as well.

That inclusion was not intended, and fixed in r62458, which I immediately pushed live. Closing as FIXED based on the assumption that the user you quoted was right.
