I could reproduce this bug in the following way: - go to https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cumul_des_mandats_en_France - click on "Modifier" (i.e. Visual Editor) - set the cursor just after the words « exercice simultané de mandats » (3rd paragraph) - click on "Plus->Référence" to add a reference - in the field, enter "toto." - click on "Valider" (here, I can see a Javascript error in the Web-Developer Firefox plugin: TypeError: group.firstNodes[index2] is undefined (load.php:54)) - click just on the left or on the right of the newly-created reference => a few snowmen appear. If you click more, they multiply. Sometimes other text is duplicated as well and it lead once to a browser crash. Or I get other Javascript errors: "Cannot open another window while another one is active. " My browser is Firefox 21.0. See for a discussion (in French): https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikip%C3%A9dia:%C3%89diteurVisuel/Avis#.E2.98.83.E2.98.83.E2.98.83.E2.98.83.E2.98.83.E2.98.83.E2.98.83.E2.98.83.E2.98.83.E2.98.83.E2.98.83.E2.98.83.E2.98.83.E2.98.83
I forgot: that may be the same bug as https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=53642, which is quite old though.
