All, As before, the regular update<http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/VisualEditor/status#2013-10-10_.28M… about progress on VisualEditor (a little late this week; my apologies!): VisualEditor was updated as part of the wider MediaWiki 1.22wmf21 branch deployment <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.22/wmf21> on Thursday 10 October. In the week since 1.22wmf20, the team worked on fixing bugs and stability improvements to VisualEditor. When you delete or backspace over a node (like a template, reference or image), the node will first will become selected before a second press of the key will delete it, making it more obvious what you are doing and avoiding accidental removals of infoboxes and similar (bug 55336<https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=55336> ). If you hold down the ⇧ Shift key whilst resizing an image, it will now snap to a 10 pixel grid instead of the normal free-hand sizing. A number of improvements were made to the transactions system which make the undo/redo system able to cope better with real-time collaboration, where multiple users will be able to edit a page at the same time in one session. The save dialog was re-written to use the same code as all other dialogs (bug 48566 <https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=48566>), and in the process fixed a number of issues. The save dialog is re-accessible if it loses focus (bug 50722<https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=50722>)2>), or if you review a null edit (bug 53313<https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=53313>)3>); its checkboxes for minor edit, watch the page, and flagged revisions options now layout much more cleanly (bug 52175<https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=52175>)5>), and the tab order of the buttons is now closer to what users will expect (bug 51918 <https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=51918>). The code for the action buttons on the right (RTL environments: left) of the toolbar was re-written slightly to improve its flexibility. The display of the help and edit notice menus is now improved, including the addition of a close button (bug 52386<https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=52386>)6>). The width of the format drop-down was made adjustable so that long labels don't cause it to break (bug 54870<https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54870>)0>), and a bug that caused the toolbar's menus to get shorter or even blank when scrolled down the page in Firefox is now fixed (bug 55343<https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=55343> ). A complete list of individual code commits is available in the 1.22/wmf21 changelog<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.22/wmf21/Changelog#…or>, and all Bugzilla bugs closed in this period are on Bugzilla's list<https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/buglist.cgi?bug_status=RESOLVED&… .
