Environment: Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS IBus 1.5.5 mozc 1.13.1651.102-2 Test sequence: 0. Open a blank page with VisualEditor. 1. Switch to Japanese input. 2. Enter "nihongo". 3. Convert it (usually by pushing down the space key). You'll see it converted "日本語" here. 4. Disable Japanese input. 5. Enter "a". You'll see here "日本語" removed and only "a" remaining.
Above was tested browsers below: Mozilla Firefox 33.0 Chromium Version 37.0.2062.120 Ubuntu 14.04 (281580) (64-bit)
I first experienced the same bug around 2014-10-24. Environment:Windows 7 PC （Firefox 33.0.1, Chrome 38.0.2125.104 m, IE 11.0.13） Test sequence 1: 0 - 5. All the same as Yusuke Matsubara's. (note: you cant move the cursor with right or left key on "日本語") Test sequence 2: 0 - 4. same as Yusuke Matsubara's. 5. Push "Enter key" to make a br there. You'll see here "日本語" vanished and nothing remaining. (It drove me panicky at first: I couldnt even copy the Japanese text there to salvage. ) Test sequence 3: 0. Open a blank page with VisualEditor. 1-1. Enter "1" (or any alphabet, any number or any sign like "@", "#", "*", "^", ...). 1-2. Switch to Japanese input. 2. Enter "nihongo" after "1". 3. Convert it (usually by pushing down the space key). You'll see it converted "日本語" - you'll see here "1 日本語" 4. Disable Japanese input. 5. Enter "a". You'll see here "1 日本語 a" remaining.
the similar issue is bug 72619.
Changed to critical as it involves loss of data, and affects significantly many (effectively all trials of editing in Japanese).
