Mass-moving items into VisualEditor product

To check if this is still current.

Seems to work in Opera 12 on a quick spot-check.... but there's a few problems. I'll file bugs and stack them on this one.

Yair Rand: Since the time of your posting, The Visual Editor surface has been completely rewritten and is based on Content Editable.

Content Editable is supported in Opera 12 and above.

Browsers that support contentEditable here:
http://caniuse.com/#search=contentEditable

Closing bug.

[Reopening as a tracking bug and assigning to myself.]

The current dependencies are the things that IMO are blockers to enabling VE for Opera users again.

Change 72738 had a related patch set uploaded by Matmarex:
Unblacklist Opera >= 12

Change 72738 merged by jenkins-bot:
Unblacklist Opera >= 12

No outstanding bugs against this tracker; closing.
