Description RonaldDuncan 2013-07-20 22:47:33 UTC

See http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Cricket_in_Scotland&diff=565101358&oldid=563544475

The not printing char ♙ was entered instead of my edit (some new text and a couple of references)

Also the first words that I typed and then deleted were inserted and the intervening text was deleted.

I cant reproduce this using the steps given, but it is likely to be one of the 'pawn' bugs already raised.  Did you use Control-Z during this edit?

Comment 2 Inez Korczyński 2013-07-22 21:37:55 UTC

@RonaldDuncan: Thanks for the bug report. Could you please attach step by step instruction for reproducing it? Thanks.

Comment 3 James Forrester 2013-08-30 03:25:56 UTC

I'm going to close this as "WORKSFORME" due to the inability to reproduce, and as there are a number of other bugs around pawning which have been fixed since this was filed that might have been the issue.

If you can recreate, please feel free to re-open this bug, however.
