Description

First reported by miya at ja.wp:
write something in Japanese; press Enter; the whole line disappears. This also happens when adding a picture - in the Caption field.
This does not seem to be browser or OS-specific.
miya says that adding a "single-byte character" or a number at the beginning of the line, the line doesn't disappear - I don't seem able to confirm this (my tests are in Safari/X Yosemite).
I'm able to reproduce the general issue at mediawiki.org (using the laptop input system for Katakana; hope I'm doing this right).

Version: unspecified
Severity: normal

Confirmed in betalabs with hirogana, katakana(and, of course, not for romaji), and kanji.

Sometime it takes two hit of Enter to delete the entered text in such languages- but the text gets deleted. For English text, 'Enter' behaves normally - a cursor goes to the new line.

Thanks for changing its priority!

For your information, I tried the above case with Google Input method and Google chrome on Mac OS X Yosemite, got the same result.

Let me know if you need other test cases.

Why did you change the priority?
I recognize this bug is blocked against using by Japanese.
If you have a reason, let me know.

As far as I can tell, this issue and other Japanese text entry issues are all now fixed. Sorry it took so long to confirm!

Sorry, this was done in a mass action for everything we were not working on that month.
