I opened a wiki page, clicked "Edit", modified some stuff in the first paragraph involving links and a footnote reference.  Next, I demoted my outline from Page title to Heading, lowering all subheadings as well.  Said action was performed by triple-clicking each heading like, then mousing to the heading toolbar and clicking on the next level down.

I believe I was on the last heading, when some magic combination of arrow keys and actions involving the heading level toolbar (I may have cursored down and hit <return> this time) caused a total HsiT scramble.  A sequence of characters of roughly equivalent length replaced the heading line I had been editing.

The damage seems to have spread elsewhere in the document.  See attached screenshot.

Separate but related bugs from the same editing session have been filed, jfyi to flesh out this story ;)

I *believe* that this may be related to bug 53360, which is now fixed, and so will mark as "WORKSFORME" (I can't make "FIXED" stand up given the lack of reproducible steps from these kinds of issues).

Sorry for the disruption. :-(
