I edited a large page on meta (1.22wmf7) in VE. All seemed fine but review showed VE had removed the first character following several closing </pre> tags. It also removed a few characters within a <source> tag. Here's the diff showing the removal, it's self-explanatory. <https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Extension%3AEventLogging%2FGuide&diff=716359&oldid=704840>. I will restore the characters by hand. I'm using Firefox 21.0 on Kubuntu 13.04. I tried editing the same document again and this time VE removed more characters from the source tag, added a space after a <pre>. Hmm. I'm setting to critical as it's recoverable data loss, but maybe it's intermittent.
Making this primarily about the first character after a </pre> getting lost on round-trip; I'm not sure how you were able to edit inside a <source> tag, though, so that needs exploring too if it recurs.
Can't reproduce in master. An issue I am seeing is code inside <source> and <syntaxhighligh> blocks are losing their linebreaks. Might want to file a bug if we aren't aware of that. Editing inside source is now bug 50224
(In reply to comment #2) > Can't reproduce in master. Neither can I, in production or master. I'm going to close this as fixed, but please re-open if it recurs.
