      Set the following settings:
      $CFG->yuicomboloading = 1;
      $CFG->yuislasharguments = 1;
      (Note, the second can only be set in config.php, not via the Admin interface)

      If required, setup the rewrite rule for yuislasharguments (See MDL-33636).

      Purge all caches (including browser cache).
      Log in and visit the home page.
      Check that action menus on the course edit screen can still be opened/closed.
      Double-check that MDL-48980 is still fixed.

    Description

      The recent cleaning introduced in MDL-48980 breaks YUI combo loading in situations where this falls back to calling min_get_slash_argument().

      If the function combo_params() in theme/yui_combo.php does not find the params it needs in either $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'] or $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], it falls back to calling min_get_slash_argument(). I do not know the full set of circumstances in which this fallback is used, but, due to the changes in MDL-48980, '&' characters will always be removed from the params. As a result the combo loading (which concatenates multiple files together using '&') will always fail when this fallback is used.

      Disabling YUI combo loading is a workaround for this.
