Description Jonathan Haas 2013-07-28 11:05:25 UTC
To reproduce:

Goto http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Binding_of_Isaac?veaction=edit

1. Click on infobox
2. Hit the "a" key
3. Hit ctrl+z

Repeat steps 1-3 as long as necessary (about 1-6 times)

Current result:

Instead of being restored on ctrl+z, sometimes the infobox is replaced by a pawn.
The article begins with "♙The Binding of Isaac" then.

Also, ctrl+z should probably also restore the selection, so I think it's another bugh that you have to repeat step 1 every time.
Comment 1 John Mark Vandenberg 2013-07-28 22:06:36 UTC
Reproduced; I havent looked to see if this scenario has been reported already.
Comment 2 Chris McKenna 2013-07-29 00:54:18 UTC
This is possibly bug 51532
Comment 3 Ed Sanders 2013-08-14 13:50:42 UTC
Can't reproduce in Chrome or FF
Comment 4 Jonathan Haas 2013-08-14 13:52:59 UTC
I still can (FF23). Just managed on first try.

Also managed to reproduce in Chrome 28.

No error in javascript console in both browsers.
Comment 6 Chris McKenna 2013-08-14 14:02:58 UTC
I can't reproduce after about 20 tries in Firefox 23/Linux/Monobook
Comment 7 Pavel Selitskas [wizardist] 2013-08-14 14:10:57 UTC
I could reproduce this with cyrillic letters in be-x-old.wikipedia.org, at least a few weeks ago.
Comment 8 James Forrester 2013-11-04 17:42:34 UTC
I can occasionally reproduce this in Chrome and Firefox, but not reliably (roughly 1 in 10 replacements). Race condition on the change stack or something?
Comment 9 Jonathan Haas 2013-11-04 21:26:20 UTC
Using the current Firefox 27 alpha (Aurora build), the problem seems to be much worse, as the pawn appears reliably in step 2 just after pressing "a". Maybe it's a different issue, but maybe it helps debugging this one.

TBH, this pawn stuff seems to be very weird and unstable to me. Why can they appear in the first place?
Comment 10 James Forrester 2014-03-07 20:30:11 UTC
Bumping; this is happening 100% of the time now.
Comment 11 Ed Sanders 2014-06-15 12:59:09 UTC
Pressing anything other than delete no longer does anything for me, which seems sensible.
