Is this actually Mac-specific? Doesn't work in Firefox on Windows for me either.

I assume this is referring to the drag-n-drop of sections.

Yes, drag-n-drop for moving the pages up and down. Never figured out what the chapters feature was supposed to do.

I can confirm it is not Mac-specific: I can't get it to work on Firefox, IE or Chrome on Windows 7. Also, it is not only the english Wikipedia that is affected, but also the Swedish, French, and (I suppose) all other language versions as well.

Fixed what? I'm having this problem today, tonight, right now. WinXP in Firefox, IE or Chrome, take your pick. The chapters feature doesn't work. I cannot save titles. I cannot move articles around within a book. I just found out that I cannot delete articles, either.

So again, no, this bug is not just on Mac, and it doesn't appear to be fixed.

According to posts at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help_talk:Books#Structuring and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Books/Feedback#Book_Creator_-_multiple_problems the bug was indeed fixed earlier but then reappeared 12 September. I didn't test the fix when it apparently worked but I can confirm that it doesn't work currently.

Yes, it seems the bug has reappeared. Why is this? ~~~~

Yes, it works for me. I checked en.wp and de.wp. Thanks for the quick deployment.

Yes. It works now for me now on Mac. Thanks again for the quick response.

Thank you. It's working (correctly) for me, as well. Much appreciated.
