While not simple to show an example, behavior was noticed as follows since upgrade to 1.18.1:
- CategoryWatch extension is enabled (either version 1.2.1 or 1.2.2)
- A new user is created.
- A different user saves an edit.
- History indicates the new user (not the editing user) is who made the edit.
- Subsequent edits behave normally (it only happens for the first edit after creating new user)
Have since upgraded to MW 1.21.2/PHP 5.3.10-1/mySQL 5.5.32-0.
Behavior remains.
Identified CategoryWatch as the contributor by disabling all extensions and activating one at a time, creating a new user and performing an edit with another user.
Very weird. Will try to duplicate on a test installation.
