VisualEditor: Cursor cannot move through text created with jquery.IME when editing bulleted text
Closed, ResolvedPublic8 Estimated Story Points

Description

System environment:
Win 7 X64
Google Chrome 29.0.1547.62 m

Steps to reproduce:
Open a blank page
Edit it in VE
Either use google input tools for hindi or enable ULS hindi transliteration

Input:
Select bullet formatting from the VE toolbar
agar[SPACE]main[SPACE]

Expected output:
with ULS: अगर[SPACE]मैन[SPACE]
with Google input tools (depends on translation history, macros etc and may differ user-to-user): अगर[SPACE]मैं[SPACE]

Actual output:
Text output is same as expected. However, the text is partially non-navigable, ie pressing the left arrow key from the end of the text takes the caret to the beginning, and then left/right arrow key presses have no effect on the caret. Simultaneously, if the text is navigated by specifically placing the caret at a particular point using the mouse, the value shown for the formatting dropdown in the toolbar may go blank at one point in the text and become paragraph at the next.

The text is also irremovable ie bug 53708

The patch seems to have partially fixed the bug.

Text input using google input tools is now navigable.

But text input using ULS IME hindi transliteration is still non-navigable. Pressing the left arrow key from the end of the text takes the caret to the beginning, and then left/right arrow key presses have no effect on the caret. (Same behaviour as before)

The text formatting at all points in the bullet text remains as paragraph though (no blanking of the formatting drop-down).

Text input with ULS is still irremovable ( bug 53708 )
