Description

Steps:

In Firefox, enable "Preferences > Advanced > General > Browsing > Check my spelling as I type"
On an empty line (slug), write "occurence"
Observe wiggly red line; right click and change it to "occurrence"
Observe explosion

Possibly a unicorning issue?

Working steps:

(i.e., it works fine if there's any other content in the content node)

• bzimport raised the priority of this task from to High.Nov 22 2014, 4:01 AM

• bzimport set Reference to bz72929.

This sounds similar to T65462 in Chrome, which has insertions, deletions, and corruptions.

Jdforrester-WMF set Security to None.

Cannot reproduce on https://cs.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedista:AKlapper_%28WMF%29/Sandbox?veaction=edit with Firefox 35 on Fedora 21, given the steps above.
Only one insertion/string replacement (as expected); no output in browser console.

Is this still an issue? If so, which FF version on which platform?

Re-checcked (Mac FF 34.0.5)

The issue is not presented anymore. Closing the bug as Resolved.
