Difficult to reproduce - I caught it once in betalabs Chrome. Maybe it related to network connectivity?

I think I might have fixed this in https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/170784 (which is the fix for bug 72783).

It looks as the issue is gone - checked it in betalabs on Safari, FF, Chrome, and IE11.

Reopen this issue.Steps to reproduce are the same as above.

See screencast at http://youtu.be/bhaPQLNC4ZU(pause it at 0.05).

Yes, I saw it again in test2 - it's still not 100% reproducible.

Now for Re-use references in test2, I got
Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'length' of undefined VM1516:174ve.ui.MWReferenceDialog.useReference VM1516:174ve.ui.MWReferenceDialog.onSearchSelect VM1516:172oo.EventEmitter.emit VM1507:6ve.ui.MWReferenceSearchWidget.onResultsSelect VM1516:158oo.EventEmitter.emit VM1507:6OO.ui.SelectWidget.selectItem VM1507:147OO.ui.SelectWidget.chooseItem VM1507:148OO.ui.SelectWidget.onMouseUp

Re-tested it - the bug still exists in test2 and production. The best way to reproduce it

  • use FF
  • when inserting a Basic citation do not use General references- type some other name there

Elena, so it does not appear in Betalabs?

It turned out that Chrome displays the issue even better than FF. So, better see it there.

The bug exists in beta, test, and production. I've attached the screenrecording - it shows the issue somewhat slower than in the previous attachment.

I can't reproduce this today, I think it has been genuinely fixed at some point in the past 8 years. The interface now looks completely different from the video.
