Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Changing all items of an ordered or unordered list does change the first item only

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Mark all items of an ordered (ol) or unordered list (ul) (see URL)
  2. Click on the icon in the toolbar to change from ol to ul (or vice versa)
  3. The rendering changes as expected
  4. Really changed is only the first list item, https://test.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Raymond/ol2ul&diff=175507&oldid=175506

This is a Parsoid bug. VE changes the <ul> to an <ol> (or v.v.) but Parsoid only reserializes the first item. Presumably selser tries to avoid reserializing the <li>s inside the list because they haven't changed.

That is weird -- selser should have handled this properly since the whole subtree is considered modified and would have been serialized using the regular serializer. Investigating.
