On English Wikipedia, a user reports the following: *Added leading whitespace to paragraph in VE. Text appears fine in VE, with leading whitespace as an indentation. *Saved. VE adds nowiki tags before the whitespace and after the first few words. Text displays without indent. *Tried removing the whitespace in VE. *VE won't allow the whitespace to be removed, but instead will only permit the first few words to be deleted. This is with Chrome 28 + Windows 7. I'll see if I can work out the conditions that would have created the first problem. - Bilby (talk) 02:37, 16 July 2013 (UTC) VEspaceremoval.png I tried to replicate this myself. *Added whitespace to the lead of an article, and it nowikied. http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Quadrangle_%28architecture%29&diff=564486949&oldid=563578917 *It turned the first word into an uneditable element. See image: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:VEspaceremoval.png *Curious as to what the nowikis would do to formatting, I found an article that had formatting on the first word. It added space, no "nowiki." http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Marloth_Park&diff=564487138&oldid=557816381 * It allowed me to remove the space in VE. (Also using Chrome on 7.)
This was fixed in July; sorry for the slow triage.
