Created attachment 13105 [details]
close-up of error message and greyed button

1. Try to use the VE to create a page at https://test2.wikipedia.org (while logged in, if that makes a difference).

2. Click "Save page" button.

The "Save page" button greys out and "Error: Unknown error" shows up to its left.  The user assumes that the page has not been saved.  But it has been created, e.g., https://test2.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kim_Stanley_Robinson .

By the way, if the user reacts to the error by clicking Review changes and then getting back to Save, everything works fine.

Also, as you can see in https://test2.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Sharihareswara_%28WMF%29 and (for instance) https://test2.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Kim_Stanley_Robinson&oldid=57690 , those creation edits don't get the "VisualEditor" tag.
Comment 2 James Forrester 2013-10-29 03:05:53 UTC
I think this was due to a bug in the save dialog that we fixed last month; closing. If it re-occurs, please re-open this bug so we can fix this issue too.
