Description

This issue occured to me while editing in Visual Editor and adding references. Probably caused while adding <references /> tag on cswiki, while there is an infobox. The space disappears after edit is saved. See the pictures.

Event Timeline

You have to remove the references and add them back in VisualEditor to reproduce the issue, or it happens when you add references for the first time while creating an article.

Same thing happens on enwiki; first reference is shown ot the place where the reflist is added and then there is a giant space and rest of the references are shown under the infobox. It doesn't happen everytime, though.

hi @Moson81, we appreciate you filing this task, especially with screenshots.

Have you been able to detect a set of steps to reproduce this issue? This will go a long way in helping us to understand what might be causing this issue and subsequently resolving it...

  1. Go to Czech Wikipedia. I use Google Chrome as my browser.
  2. Go to any page with infobox (for example Papoušek zlatoperý - https://cs.wikipedia.org/wiki/Papou%C5%A1ek_zlatoper%C3%BD
  3. Choose to edit with Visual Editor
  4. Put references list to any section not under the infobox (use Vložit -> Seznam referencí to add reflist). This happens in every section like that; size of the gap depends on how high you place the reflist; more high means bigger gap.

This issue happens on every page with infobox. Same issue happens on most of Wikipedia languages as well, such as bswiki, dewiki, hrwiki, huwiki, slwiki, viwiki..., but on some Wikipedias, like enwiki or itwiki, it doesn't happen at all.
