I had been operating under the assumption all this time that the not-so-unusual reason behind the non-functioning status-worker cells & status-message bar in CodeEditor was because even the latest release of IE still was not supported.
Imagine my shock when I happen to go change something in my common.js on test.wikipedia.org yesterday and the little bangs down the left and status messages bar field began reporting my typos!! Having convinced myself this must be something "new" and will be live in today's wmf13 roll out on Wikisource as well, I come here now -- hat in hand -- to find why CodeEditor's status-bar related features are absent for me on both en.wiki & enwikisource.
- W8.1/IE11 (both the most current possible)
- User prefs...
- Classic toolbar: off
- WikiEditor: on
- WikiEditor's dialogs: off
- Scribunto (Lua module: namespace) use CodeEitor = true
... and what is this I head about " buttons " (plural; more than one)?
I know there are bits and pieces dealing with buttons still stalled out, longing to be merged into the master code, but as I researched for possible causes around the wiki-world, I did get the impression some folks had more than just one "On / Off" button like I've always had.
Any pointers greatly appreciated ahead of time.
