Steps to replicate the issue (include links if applicable):
- Use Mozilla Firefox (I tested version 140 ESR on Debian 13 stable)
- Open the WikiEditor in a page like https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Sandbox&action=edit
- Make sure to use Syntax Highlighting
- it's the pencil icon in the top-toolbar of the editor
- Write something long, quickly, like "hello hello hello"
What happens?:
You type "hello hello hello" but you get rubbish like "helloh elol ehlol"
What should have happened instead?:
You type "hello hello hello" and you get "hello hello hello".
Workarounds
- disable the Syntax Highlighting
- or, use Chromium (version 142 on Debian GNU/Linux stable trixie, works)
- or, use Konqueror (4:25.04.0-1 on Debian GNU/Linux stable trixie, works)
- or, use Firefox 145 on Fedora
Screenshots
Note the green paragraph (what I really typed, when Syntax Highlighting was disabled)
Note the red part (what I got when typing a similar thing with Syntax Highlighting enabled.
