VisualEditor: Typing between text and a reference produces a pawn in Firefox
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

This came from the Hebrew Wikipedia feedback page, I could not replicate it in the English Wikipedia

It seems to happen only in Firefox.

To reproduce -

  1. Go to this sample page: https://he.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=%D7%9E%D7%A9%D7%AA%D7%9E%D7%A9:Nurick/%D7%91%D7%93%D7%99%D7%A7%D7%95%D7%AA_-_%D7%A2%D7%95%D7%A8%D7%9A_%D7%97%D7%96%D7%95%D7%AA%D7%99&oldid=14834614&veaction=edit
  1. Put the cursor a couple of character to the left of the word "יפן" (third paragraph, the word with the reference attached)
  1. Move the cursor so it is between the word and the reference.
  1. Add a period.

Watch a pawn appear.
