That sounds like a bug in the popups gadget. Which wiki was this on?

It was found in test2 environment

https://test2.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Gadget-popups.js&action=history is from Feb 2012.

Line 1221 is:
/*@if (@_jscript_version >= 5)

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Gadget-popups.js&action=history for example is from Nov 2013 (but also contains that line).

Hence wondering if it's a "real" problem or just an ancient .js file on test2.
