Ctrl+C, rather than copying text, deletes it entirely. Any attempt to undo this via shortcut keys fails; Ctrl+Z does not work. Found in firefox 17.0, and Firefox 21.0 on Windows 7.
Not sure if this is exactly the same issue, but here Ctrl+C is replaced by the "chess piece" character: ♙ ; Ctrl+V inputs the same character. Ctrl+Z doesn't work either. Observed in Firefox 21 on openSUSE 12.3
Here's a test I did on [[:en:The Wolfgang Press]]: 1. Open [[The Wolfgang Press]], open edit in VE. 2. Select the first wikilink to [[English]] (which is actually a piped link to [[England]]). 3. Ctrl-X to cut, Ctrl-V to paste at end of second paragraph. You will see a white pawn. 4. If you hit Ctrl-Z twice, you will see a white pawn appear at the point where the link to [[English]] was. I saved it, here's the edit - you'll see the link is a white pawn linking to [[England]]. Note how VE also added a gratuitous pawn link to [[Rema-Rema]] lower down the page: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The_Wolfgang_Press&diff=560611809&oldid=555123900
Fixed (I think) in Gerrit change #69503 which we will deploy this afternoon.
Was this actually deployed? Because I can still reproduce the issue (Firefox 12.1, fr.wp); Ctrl+C removes the content, and Ctrl+V inserts the pawn character.

Yep; confirm in production on enwp that copy/pasting now works like a dream. Thanks, VE team! :)
