Steps to replicate the issue (include links if applicable):
- From a desktop computer, visit a page with a level-2 heading; click Edit to open VisualEditor. Example.
- Select text in first heading along with some previous text, i.e. last words of introduction text. (e.g. "du xve siècle. Bio" in example page)
- Press Del, Back, or any key to remove or replace the highlighted content.
What happens?:
- The text is not removed/replaced.
- You cannot highlight other text. You cannot type anything anymore.
- JavaScript console displays:
