Discussion

This is at an enterprise company where the standard browser is IE8. While FF is an alternative to those with the access to use it, it is preferred to be able to do this from IE8.

Note: moin 1.7 is rather old, please try to reproduce it on THIS wiki (which runs 1.9.3+). Update the bug report with your results.
