Any information about web browser and OS?

Also - it would be very valuable to know if there are any errors in JS console.

I saw it in Firefox 20 on Fedora 18.

Firefox 20 on ubuntu 13.04 too.

Didn't see any error in the JS console.

I don't think this is a dupe of bug 41067 - pawns appearing can have lots of causes (all bugs, but not necessarily the same bug).

I still can't reproduce this one. Can I get step-by-step instruction please?

Ping to Amir / matanya for steps to reproduce.

Steps to reproduce:

in VE mode.

open a new line and go to the beginning of the line. switch for he to en or vice versa on your keyboard.

tested on firefox 21 on ubuntu 13.04

I cannot reproduce it any more (Firefox 22, Fedora 18). Marking WORKSFORME, but reopen if it still happens.
