This looks like a bug in fixupInsertion. When the entire contents is cut, only paragraph and /paragraph are in the documentModel. Pasting more than 2 paragraphs will error.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Create a document with 3 simple paragraphs.
  2. Ctl-A
  3. Ctl-X
  4. Ctl-V

paragraphs will error.

This fixupInsertion issue is fixed in https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/14398 . This fixes problem #1, which occurred in all browsers. Problem #2 is a Firefox-specific selection issue, so I'm filing a separate bug for that and closing this one as fixed.

Roan, could you please tell us the identifier of the new bug report you created?

Sorry, meant to do that but forgot. I filed bug 38207 for it and later found it was a duplicate of bug 38037.
