VisualEditor issue

Hi Tomberli,

WP:VisualEditor is adding and then automtically removing some "span" tags for just a handful of users. You seem to be one of the people affected. It's not your fault, but I need some information to figure out what's going on. Can you tell me what web browser, computer operating system, and Wikipedia skin you're using? (The "skin' is the appearance of Wikipedia; unless you deliberately changed it at Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-rendering, then it's the default [named "Vector"]; the older appearance is called "Monobook".) You can reply here, leave a note on my talk page, or send me e-mail. It would be really helpful to know thesee things if you don't mind. Thanks, Whatamidoing (WMF) (talk) 07:23, 6 January 2014 (UTC)

Hi Whatamidoing

Sorry it took me so long to respond. I use Google Chrom on OS X 10.9.1. Never changed the Wiki skin, so presumably it is still the standard 'Vector'. Cheers tomberli

Thanks for the reply! Everyone else with this problem was also using Chrome on Windows (which is the most common choice among editors). I think we've got it sorted out. Whatamidoing (WMF) (talk) 20:11, 7 March 2014 (UTC)
