  • Add the line "return verb[:-1] + "ുന്നവൻ" # -unnavan"

Is this also an issue in the regular code editor (which is the same software), e.g. on https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Mypage/global.css does it occur there too? (If yes, we should still get it fixed, but it may need upstream fixes; if not, we'll have to work out what we're doing wrongly!)

Yeah, this is an issue in the regular code editor.

Thanks! I'll try to see if they're aware of this upstream. Edit: This is probably https://github.com/ajaxorg/ace/issues/460 I think?
