      Hi everyone,

      We have recently reviewed this issue and the overall interest in the problem. As the issue hasn't collect votes, watchers, comments, or support cases from many customers during its lifetime, it's very low on our priority list, and will not be fixed in the foreseeable future. That's why we've decided to resolve it as Time Out.

      Although we're aware the issue is still important to those of you who were involved in the conversations around it, we want to be clear in managing your expectations. The Jira team is focusing on issues that have broad impact and high value, reflected by the number of comments, votes, support cases, and customers interested. Please consult the Atlassian Bugfix Policy for more details.

      We understand how disappointing this decision may be, but we hope you'll appreciate our transparent approach and communication.

      Thank you,

      See the attachment ...

      This text implies that the workaround mode is only applied when the user's browser is MSIE. While part of the code that enforces it does indeed check the browser's user agent, JRA-20915 and JRA-28331 changed the enforcement of it such that the wiki renderer is instructed not to inline embedded objects at all, regardless of the browser setting, when in "workaround" mode.

      Based on conversations with several people, this change in behaviour is entirely intentional, so we need to update the descriptions for this setting (as well as any related documentation) so it is clear what the enforcement does and that it applies to all browsers.

      Actual behaviour in 5.0.6+:

      • Secure - No embedded content is rendered, whether it's an image or an "object" (flash, quicktime, sounds, etc.)
      • Insecure - All content is rendered.
      • Workaround - Embedded images are rendered, but "objects" are not.
