Created attachment 13496 [details] hotcat links on VE On a slow connection in Chrome on beta labs, another race condition: click edit for wikitext; HotCat Categories links appear; click edit for VE HotCat stuff stays on the page
I misspoke, no need to invoke the wikitext editor, the Categories links just show up sometimes in Chrome
Created attachment 13500 [details] Categories working do not trigger Save page
Merging with bug 43335 - this is a real mess, and I vaguely guess that HotCat is doing something it shouldn't and gets triggered for some reason. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 43335 ***
I don't think this is a duplicate, or at least the root cause of 43335 is not explained. I think this a) only manifests in Chrome and not Firefox and b) is only one of a number of race conditions possible in Chrome.

I agree that we're finding a number of things that look like race conditions using VE in Chrome, which is probably an artefact of the generally terrible quality of MW's front-end JS (including gadgets) with which has to VE interact. However, the screenshot that you attached is exactly the behaviour I reported in bug 43335, which continues to occur (only in Chrome that I've seen).
