Description

Steps to reproduce:

Find a page that already has a category
Edit in VE, and add a category
Review changes

Expected results:
The diff is

+**[[Category:New cat]]**

Actual results:
The diff is

-[[Category:Old cat]]
+[[Category:Old cat**]][[Category:New cat**]]

With the chunk between the stars viewed as added.

This also happens in the source editor, but it is less common that people will append a category to an existing category as that is against all style guidelines. However the Visual Editor is doing just that.

Version: 1.23.0
Severity: normal

I cannot reproduce this anymore with VE visual mode; the category gets added in a separate new line. Maybe this got fixed in T135667.
Please reopen if you can still reproduce.
