Description Elitre 2014-02-19 18:38:15 UTC
Reported on fr.wp:
<<Here is how I did : on the page https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utilisateur:NemesisIII/Ch%C3%A2teau_Rothschild_(Boulogne-Billancourt) opened with VE, "Historique" section, copy from "Joseph Fleuriau d'Armenonville" to "évoqua brièvement le lieu." Then paste it somewhere on the page https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utilisateur:NemesisIII/Brouillon [it's a sandbox, it's ok to test there], and everything will be deleted. 
I also noticed that a few times nothing was deleted but nothing was pasted too. [...]
I have the same bug with FF 29 with both W7 and W8.1, and also Chrome 32 with W7. Nemesis III (me contacter), le 19 février 2014 à 19:16 (CET). >>

I reproduced this as well.
In addition, the first time it didn't blank the destination page, and the same happened on one of my sandboxes. Then one time it blanked the page, allowed me to save, I got the confirmation message but nothing was recorded (the history doesn't have signs of this).
Comment 1 Elitre 2014-03-25 12:47:47 UTC
This is happening elsewhere as well.
I was testing if you can copy/paste a reference from a VE instance on one wiki to another (from sv.wp to it.wp).
Sometimes it takes a lot for the save dialog to appear; in other cases the action just leads to page blanking.

Can't reproduce.
