Description

I have noticed an unexpected behavior while tesing Visual Editor with Malayalam Wikipedia. Describing the steps below:-

  1. Added the following text on a page

ഡിസ്രയേലി

  1. When pressing a backspace immediately after the above text, it becomes

ഡസരയ

ie. many characters in between the original text disappeared. The expected result was ഡിസ്രയേ

The bug 50507 is very much related to this. There, the reporter says that the characters ്, െ etc are not allowed to type.

Here the case is different but the characters are same. Characters, ി, ് and േ (the vowel symbols of malayalam, which are joined together with preceeding consonants) are disappearing when pressing the backspace.
