Can't paste HTML containing <section> into an empty paragraph in VisualEditor
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

When trying to copy the citation from https://collection.cooperhewitt.org/objects/18651091/ (at the bottom) into VisualEditor, sometimes pasting it does nothing.

To reproduce:

  • Use a Chromium-like browser
  • Triple-click the citation to select it
  • Copy
  • Paste into an empty paragraph

Expected: the wikitext is parsed and pasted as a citation. Actual: nothing happens.

The minimal HTML to reproduce this problem is like this:

<main>&lt;ref&gt;test&lt;/ref&gt;</main><footer>blahblah</footer>
