Created attachment 14256 [details] wikitext after step 8 Steps to reproduce: 1.Open a page with VE 2.Type the following text: Tex ted 3.Select this part of the text "Tex t" with a space in between. 4.Now apply a link on it with command+k 5.Save the page. 6.Go to Edit source and observe the resulting wikitext for this is: [[tex t]]<nowiki/>ed 7.Now reopen the page delete the space make it "texted" and delete the link applied. 8.Reapply another link by selecting the whole text "texted" Observed Result: The <nowiki/> tag still remains.The resulting wikitext after step 8 is: [[texted|text]]<nowiki/>[[texted|ed]] See the screenshot attached. Test Environment: http://en.wikipedia.beta.wmflabs.org/ Browser: Chrome Version 26.0.1410.65 OS: MAC OS X 10. 8. 5 Page:http://en.wikipedia.beta.wmflabs.org/w/index.php?title=Jan8th&action=edit
This is because <nowiki /s> (unlike <nowiki>s) are "meta" items in the DOM rather than things VE can edit; merging with bug 56381. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 56381 ***
