I have "Show Spoilers" on. When I click a (visible) spoiler, it blanks. If I click again, it comes back.

Just wanted to make sure this was working as intended, and was wondering if it worked the same way if you turned Show Spoilers off (so that you don't need to highlight a mass of spoilers).

Be careful what you wish for, 'cause you might just get it all...

I'm pretty sure this is an intentional feature. Also...

It does.

Something else: If you click with a mouse on spoilered text and drag it, while staying on the spoilered text, and then relieve the mouse button, the whole spoiler will become visible.

This happened with several browsers. PM Wiki flaw/feature?

[up] That's exactly what's being described here. If you click on spoilered text, you will toggle its visibility.

Oh, I thought it only worked if you also dragged the mouse, as described.

Well, it seems to be intended behaviour, so locking here.
