Adding a template to an article on it.wp causes VE to freeze
Closed, InvalidPublic

Description

See what I did at https://it.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Utente%3AElitre_%28WMF%29%2FSandbox&diff=71040493&oldid=71040422 - I just added a template at the top of the page.
As soon as I did that, the page formatting changed (notice how left and right margins are not respected, the toolbar got disabled, I couldn't do anything but saving.
Chrome (current), Win 8, but also reported in Firefox 35.0.1, Win 7.

Sorry, I also added {{C|boh|pesca|gennaio 2012}} without issue either.

What if you add it at the very top (before the 2 disambiguation ones)? Freezes for me.

Worked fine for me… Chrome and Firefox both.

Do you have a local gadget enabled that breaks it? What happens if you do it in an incognito window?

I still get it, just tried (I knew it wasn't going to change because this was originarily reported by an IP).

I could not reproduce this in Firefox 35 either, behavior was as expected: https://it.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Utente%3AAKlapper_%28WMF%29%2FSandbox&diff=71044642&oldid=71044625 (obviously with "default settings" (gadgets etc) on it.wp where I'm otherwise not active at all)

I was even able to reproduce with Safari on a Mac, but couldn't upload the screencast due to Phab's size limit. I think the key here is positioning the cursor in the slug? (I can reproduce the issue also at the bottom of the page if there's a slug there.)
