*Did one round of test at my user page on media wiki https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Mahitgar

Seems to get partially fixed with some different wierdness in some other case so will need more tests and time to confirm

Hello,

Would it be possible to test this against current master? You can use this at
http://en.wikipedia.beta.wmflabs.org/ - we believe that we may have fixed the
issues (or, at least, changed the behaviour) since you tested it.

Thank you!
