Intention: Turn a list of seven single-spaced items into a properly formatted list. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start with a page that contains a list of items that do not have blank lines between them. 2. Open VisualEditor and select all the items. 3. Click the 'list' button. Actual Results: Only the first item is given list formatting. If some items are double-spaced and others are not, then double-spaced items are given list formatting, and any items without a blank line above them (except the first item, which always becomes list-formatted) is left as a plain paragraph rather than being formatted as a list item. Expected Results: All the items would be given list formatting. Reproducible: Always
At https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Whatamidoing_(WMF)/sandbox&diff=587948540&oldid=587948443 you can see the 'workaround'. This wikitext: * Monday is washing day. Tuesday is ironing day. Wednesday is mending day. Thursday is marketing day. Friday is cleaning day. Saturday is baking day. displays like this in view mode: * Monday is washing day. Tuesday is ironing day. Wednesday is mending day. Thursday is marketing day. Friday is cleaning day. Saturday is baking day. and displays like this within VisualEditor: * Monday is washing day. Tuesday is ironing day.↵Wednesday is mending day.↵Thursday is marketing day.↵Friday is cleaning day.↵Saturday is baking day. If you select the subsequent items (Tuesday through Saturday), and click the button to apply list formatting, then only the "Tuesday" line acquires list formatting. This looks in VisualEditor like this: * Monday is washing day. * Tuesday is ironing day.↵Wednesday is mending day.↵Thursday is marketing day.↵Friday is cleaning day.↵Saturday is baking day. If you save and re-open, you see this: * Monday is washing day. * Tuesday is ironing day. Wednesday is mending day.↵Thursday is marketing day.↵Friday is cleaning day.↵Saturday is baking day. and the wikitext is this: * Monday is washing day. * Tuesday is ironing day. Wednesday is mending day. Thursday is marketing day. Friday is cleaning day. Saturday is baking day. (Notice the HTML-list-formatting-breaking unwanted blank line between Monday and Tuesday.) Selecting the "↵" and hitting return produces the desired list.
