(Tested on Firefox 22, Monobook skin)
Steps to reproduce
- Go to the "The Damned Thing (short story)" page and edit it with the visual editor.
- Go to the "Gothic elements" selection, and select all the text from "Gothic elements" (Header) to "inadequate." (Last word of the section). This should also select the image.
- Click and drag the entire section, and drop it of before the "Analysis" section (Just drop it right before the A in that word, make sure the text entry | is displayed. The image itself will be gone. But for the fun part: Click anywhere on the editing canvas text.
Suddenly, your entire input screen will be white. What seems to happen is that the image is blanked (Replaced by a white square) and plastered full size all over the page. You can try to drag it away, but each time you try it will replace itself over the pages content.
