Ah, MediaWiki:Ipbreason-dropdown is not cached.

I used: **(Normal Options) But the dropdown didn't update, so I was still waiting for "the cache to update", as suggested, but the next time I blocked someone, it displayed "Tther".
 * Other
 * Test

Other is in the HTML, but the second "Other" isn't.

My T came from the word Test, and your R came from the "Requested block" line.

I assume that "Requested block" was not visible in your dropdown before you removed "Other" - as happened for Dartmaster8 when he tested it.

The problem apparently stems from the MediaWiki:Htmlform-selectorother-other being "Other", changing that allows "Other" to work in MediaWiki:Ipbreason-dropdown.

This appears to be an underlining mediawiki bug which should probably be reported and fixed.
