Intention: Mark almost an entire page with language (en) and direction (LTR). Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open the page and select almost all of the content. 2. Insert > Language 3. Set the language to English and the direction to LTR. Actual Results: Only a small fraction of the page was marked with span tags. See https://office.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?diff=112247&oldid=112246 Expected Results: I wanted this: <span lang="en" dir="ltr"> Div box Image Text Image Some text End of div box Lots and lots and lots of text </span> I got this: Div box Image <span lang="en" dir="ltr">Text</span> Image <span lang="en" dir="ltr">Text</span>Some te</span>xt End of div box Lots and lots and lots of text Reproducible: Always This was exactly repeatable on this page: the last span tag always ended in the middle of the same word.
The language tool only covers text, not block content, so that's expected. The not-getting-to-the-end-of-the-selection thing sounds like an odd data model bug.
When I've selected the whole page, I'd rather have the whole page marked with a single pair of tags, even if defining the block content as having a "language" is meaningless.
