This is the notation for interface translation that shows you can translate that string.

I thought it was only supposed to show up when you're logged in, though?

Comment 4

[[:Cww]]

I don't get it unless I'm logged in... may be memcache screwing up again?

Comment 5

[David Tenser [:djst]]

This is most probably a dupe of bug 437656, which is resolved as WORKSFORME. Reopen that perhaps? Can this be reproduced?

Comment 6

[Paul Craciunoiu [:paulc]]

Can we get some URLs for this Krupa? Need to reproduce :)

Comment 7

[Paul Craciunoiu [:paulc]]

I don't see it on
https://support-stage.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Clearing+private+data
What steps did you take?

Comment 8

[krupa raj[:krupa]]

Paul,

steps to reproduce:
1.Click on "Clearing Private data" link in the home page
2.In SHOWFOR, your OS is highlighted(eg:Windows)
3.Change it to Linux.
4.Refresh the page

observed behavior:
interface translation symbol is seen when not logged in.

Reproducibility:sometimes
I was unable to reproduce using the same steps today morning.

I will spend some time,figuring out the exact steps.

Comment 9

[Paul Craciunoiu [:paulc]]

I'll try to play around and see if I can reproduce it consistently. Might be to do with the cache and rare. Maybe we should ask users if they ran across it, if we can't reproduce it?

Comment 10

[Underpass]

I can confirm this issue, although it happens sometimes and I cannot provide sure steps to reproduce it.

Comment 11

[Stephen Donner [:stephend] Not actively reading bugmail]

See also bug 452680, where I commented on how to reproduce:

1. Load http://support-stage.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Other+Firefox+support while logged out.
2. Click "Log in"

You'll see the rings.

Comment 12

[krupa raj[:krupa]]

I was able to reproduce the bug with steps specified in comment 11.Thanks,Stephen!

is stage cached?

> is stage cached?

Yes, staging is cached via our Citrix NetScalers

Comment 15

[[:Cww]]

I'm 99.9% sure this is caching related since it doesn't happen now and it doesn't happen on sumotools: http://dm-sumotools01.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Other+Firefox+support which isn't cached.  It may be the same thing as what happened a couple days ago when it somehow cached the Admin toolbox on a page and you could get the panel even if you were locked out.

Still see the bubbles myself on https://support-stage.mozilla.org/tiki-login_scr.php which I'm not sure how it would cache. 

I'm getting them on any page that ends in .php really, https://support-stage.mozilla.org/tiki-my_tiki.php#content_forum and https://support-stage.mozilla.org/tiki-user_watches.php as well

Comment 17

[Majken Connor [:Kensie]]

and here's one that you don't need to be logged in to see https://support-stage.mozilla.org/tiki-listpages.php?locale=en-US

Comment 18

[E. Cooper [:ecooper]]

I was able to reproduce this locally. I don't know how I did, though.

I do know, however, that it can be cleared up by emptying the smarty cache/compiled directory, webroot/templates_c/.

Then, after memcache refreshes, the bubbles/circles/degree signs will stop appearing. Well, that seems to be the case locally, at least.

no interface translator anymore
