Unknown problem with 2017 wikitext editor
Closed, ResolvedPublic0 Estimated Story Points

Description

Something strange has happened with the new wikitext editor. Please watch this video (sorry for the bad recording) and you will see that the editor totally crushed and I wasn't able to finish my comment; I had to rewrite my text. This wasn't the first time, it happens with me very often. Below you can see the error codes. Someone could help me to find a better name for the task?

Inserted data is trying to close the root node (at index 0):

@Bencemac I tried editing a few different sections on that page (https://hu.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipédia:Botgazdák_üzenőfala) with the 2017 editor and had no issues. Maybe one of the engineers will be able to figure out what happened from that.

Also, how did you get wikitext syntax highlighting working? I enabled the beta feature, but it didn't do anything with the new editor. I wonder if that, or something similar, could be the problem.

Deskana moved this task from To Triage to TR1: Releases on the VisualEditor board.

@Deskana Thanks your answer! I enabled the beta (on preferences) but it works without it too. Try the following: turn it off and edit a page; go to "page options" ->"syntax highlighting". I don't know how but it works. Do you have any idea?

In connection with the original subject, I've met with the bug again. As soon as I have free time I will try to reproduce and record it.

@Deskana Do the following:

  1. visit Botgazdák üzenőfala and edit a theme
  2. hit twice enter and type some characters
  3. click on the blank space (where the two enters are), "Bekezdés" (Paragraph) will disappear
  4. write something

I recorded it, please watch the video.

Seem to be Firefox related problem. At least on Edge it worked well. I can reproduce with Firefox (55.0.3).

The syntax highlighting of the editor is provide by MediaWiki-extensions-CodeMirror extension, not by SyntaxHighlight which is used for syntax highlighting in all other situations.

Is this problem still occurring?

Yes, but it is possible that T180678 will solve the problem. When it's deployed, I'll test this bug again.

It seems the problem has been solved by T180678.
