en.wp user Ruud Koot reports that occasionally he gets " weird, random and unexplainable corruptions of wikitext on save" when using the VisualEditor.
The only example he gives is "e.g., a NOTOC being replaced with a copy of the categories"
Bug 48231 might have something to do with this, but I confess to not understanding all the technical language there.
Version: unspecified
Severity: normal
Can you point me to his bug report (was this on the feedback page)? It would be easier to debug with a diff if you have easy access to one.
Never mind. I found it here. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:VisualEditor/Feedback&diff=prev&oldid=567395325 .. No diffs there.
Looks like his experiments here are at least 3 weeks old. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Ruud_Koot/Computer_science/Lambda_calculus&action=history
Lot of things have been fixed in the last couple weeks including instances of wikitext getting duplicated. But 48231 is not related to this. I am going to close this ticket for now. We can open new bugs against specific bad diffs when we encounter them.
Thanks for your diligent work in reporting bugs!
