Description

System environment:
Win 7 X64
Google Chrome 29.0.1547.62 m

Steps to reproduce:
Open a blank page
Edit it in VE
Enable ULS IME hindi transliteration

Input 1:
agar[SPACE][ENTER/RETURN KEY]

Input 2:
kyaa[SPACE]

Expected output 1:
अगर[SPACE][NEWLINE]

Expected output 2:
क्या[SPACE]

Actual output 1:
[NEWLINE]

Actual output 2:
[SPACE]

For the first case, when the given characters are typed, everything is fine upto the pressing of the return key, ie agar[SPACE] gives अगर[SPACE] as expected. However, as soon as the return key is pressed the entire text disappears leaving only a newline.

For the second case, everything is fine till [SPACE] is pressed.

If the page is not blank, extreme weirdness occurs, which can only be explained with further bugs (which I'm about to file). In short though, the disappearances persist, along with other buggy effects.

Severity: normal

The bug is not fixed. The behaviour for both the spaces specified in Comment 0 is still the same. Tested at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Siddhartha_Ghai?veaction=edit

Here's the HTML which is in the result:

HTML for Input 1:

HTML for Input 2:

Here's the HTML which is in the result:

The above HTML is not entirely correct. Copy-pasting messed up the text nodes. I'll be adding screenshots for the html as seen in the chrome console.

Hi,

Besides Marathi and Hindi I tested this bug for more indic languages like Bangla, Ahirani,Konkni, etc.

Even after defficulties I am trying to use VE+ULS combination on Marathi Wikipedia as much as possible to have real time feel and understand the issues better.

For an example on Marathi Wikipedia we do have a page https://mr.wikipedia.org/wiki/वॉर_अँड_पीस . Other than info box it is empty. In Hindi and Marathi Wikipedia we do have large(huge) number of pages which are almost empty.Not able to type first word itself is a major hindrance and challenge before VE+ULS combinations.

So wish and hope bug number 53700 and 53705 remain on priority list
