Summary|VisualEditor: Section edit |VisualEditor: When section
|from diff of current |edit is initiated with an
|version loses focus on the |actual page load, VE does
|section being edited |not navigate to the section
--- Comment #1 from Matthew Flaschen <mflasc...@wikimedia.org> ---
This is just a special case. The general issue is that VE does not navigate to
the section when a section edit is initiated with a fresh page load (it does
when it uses the AJAX switch to editing without a page load). For example,
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Earth&veaction=edit§ion=6 . It
appears in this case because VE (there is a comment to this effect) uses a new
page load to start section editing when it's showing the latest diff (to deal
with another issue).
This applies any time the user is sent directly to edit a section via VE. For
the Growth team's current project, we will allow the user to click "Sign up and
edit" (including for sections). This works using the normal signup page, with
the returnto and returntoquery parameters. That means we can not do an AJAX
switch.
Besides login/signup, there are other (albeit less common) reasons you might
want to link directly to a section edit URL.
