When you want to drag an element to the very bottom of the content editable area, the last position available for the cursor is the end of the last sentence. Usually you want to place elements not at the end of a line, but right after, in a new line. The behavior expected would be to see a new empty line appearing when you drag an element until the end of a page, and the possibility to drop your element in that empty line. Tested with the {{Languages}} template at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Groups The last cursor position possible is at the end of the sentence: "... to create your MediaWiki group." Dropping the template after the last dot puts it at the end of the page, in a new line. The end result is correct, but the behavior is unituitive.
Only now noticed this. For me, dropping the template after the last dot was not even possible. I could drop it before the last dot, but not after, so for me it was not simply unintuitive, it was wrong. But now, this has been solved apparently, whether by a new VE version or by a Firefox update I don't know. Note also that for me, on [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Communication?veaction=edit], the "other languages" template at the top is not even visible in VE mode... This is probably a separate bug though.

Merging this with bug 51666 which I've re-titled.
