When a reference is edited, the updated version will not appear in the reference list when attempting to insert an existing reference. Instead, the reference that will appear in the reference list will be the reference as it was when the page editing started. To reproduce, go to a page with references. Edit one of the references, and don't save. Then, do as if you wanted to insert an existing reference and look at the list of existing references. The edit to the reference you have edited will not appear.
Confirmed. Use existing reference shows original references, before they were modified.
Likewise, the reference list is not updated if I add a new reference to the page, thus being unable to reuse it in the current edit.
(Wondering if this is related to https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=51689.)
This bug seems to be fixed, I can perfectly edit and reuse references using Firefox 25.0
@Cainamarques, please see https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=57209 and comment there if you really manage to properly see and choose from the list of reusable references. Thanks.
