"fckLR" inserted in reference templates breaks citations
Closed, InvalidPublic

Description

Author: naught101

Description:
If you have an existing reference using a citation template, created without the rich editor enabled, and then you edit it with the rich editor enabled, FCK breaks the citation template.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. edit a page without the rich editor, and add a reference with a citation template inside it, like this:

<ref>
{{Cite web

author = Author Name
title = Blah
...

}}
</ref>

  1. Enabled the rich editor, and then disable it (you might need to re-edit the page). The reference will now look like this:

<ref>fckLR{{Cite webfckLR| author = Author NamefckLR| title = BlahfckLR|...fckLR}}fckLR</ref>

I'm using the latest SVN version of the extension, on MW 1.16.beta3. Editing in firefox on linux.

This bug is fairly major as it completely breaks all cite extensions, and they must all be manually edited to remove line breaks or fckLR bits, if you're too late. On a big site with lots of existing citations, this is a killer.
