Description phoebe 2013-06-25 02:47:56 UTC
See this diff: 
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Uganda&diff=561452947&oldid=560332103

adding a sentence to the lede section saved properly, but also had unwanted behavior of cutting off the first letter of the first word of a random paragraph in a later section (removed 'l' from "Lake Kyoga" under 'geography'). 

Firefox 21.0 on Ubuntu 12.04.

Also added some quotes to refnames and removed a bracket from an image link later on.

> Also added some quotes to refnames

That's "just" normalisation, which we can fix (by making sure that what we send Parsoid is exactly the same, so it leaves it alone); see bug 50071.

> and removed a bracket from an image link later on.

Yeah, this is very not good, and really hard to understand how it happens. Roan, thoughts?
Comment 3 phoebe 2013-06-25 03:14:28 UTC
Tried editing another, later section in the same article and got this: 
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Uganda&diff=561456536&oldid=561456189

the changes I intended to make were made (added a link, copyediting) but spaces around template dates were added (more normalization) and the same initial letter (the 'l' of lake) and bracket from the same image file were removed. VisEd *really* doesn't like something about that paragraph!

Can't reproduce in master yet.
Comment 5 James Forrester 2013-07-05 20:28:02 UTC
I believe we have now fixed this; please re-open if it recurs.
