GeneralEditing confusion? Confusing edits? Pin

Just received an e-mail about one Chris Maunder having updated my Tip&Trick on using PRE tags[^].

The e-mail only duplicates the T&T's content; the T&T itself looks like it looked before; the revision got incremented, the revision list shows "latest" is a major edit; and the compare facility does not work (was signaled recently somewhere inside this long thread[^]). So I have no idea what has happened.

Deeper analysis shows something has happened about the linecount feature; the text described that it wasn't functioning reliably, and that hasn't changed. The example has been modified, changing the order of some attributes, and the net result is it works in the T&T itself, it does not work in the T&T that is seen when clicking on the latest revision; and it does not work in older revisions, probably because due to an implementation bug the order matters.

I find this pretty unacceptable:

1. you have to be a detective to figure out what changes an edit session has caused;
2. the aim of the T&T (explaining what is needed to get what results) is violated, silently switching the order of some attributes, if that is what is required, should be explained until the bug is fixed.
3. the whole "minor edit" thing is questionable. How can the change be important enough to mark it not a minor edit, yet small enough not to explain it at all?
4. the revisions view clearly does not present a true view.
5. the compare facility does not work; it has worked before.


Frown | :(
