Original report by Cwlin0416 on 27 November 2014:

Input Chinese to table will disappear when saving unless start with an English alphabet.

If i just type Chinese into table, it can't be saved, if i start with an English alphabet, the problem is solved.

Confirmed on https://zh.wikipedia.org/ - typed Cangjie(on Mac) in tables is not saved.

Tried in betalabs and test2(wmf12) the typed text in tables is saved as well as everywhere else.

Jdforrester-WMF assigned this task to dchan.

The problem was originally spotted in Google Chrome while using Traditional Chinese.

The user says (at 16:48 UTC on 11 December) that it was fixed with the recent update. From Elena's testing, it sounds like we should re-confirm this.
