VisualEditor: Can't delete text... which is actually not there
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

User added the words "La mui" to https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audiomachine#Utilisations_de_leurs_musiques . Then proceeded to edit elsewhere in the page. When he went back to those words, he found out he couldn't remove them at all (see screencast at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IMlMZt1FMvY : all his actions seem to affect the header below). When he reviews his changes, that content is actually not there.

Windows 7, Firefox Aurora 35.0a2 (2014-11-05), Vector.

Can't reproduce this.

I am the user to which it happened. I actually don't know how it happened, I did nothing special as far as I can remember. Elitre has suggested it may be because of my PC (I have sometimes other bugs that happen only to me). However the same bug or an extremely similar one also happened to me last year (in November 2013) but with my old PC with Firefox and Windows 7.

Could not reproduce. Sometime when a user session has been open for long and/or editing has taken long time(many edits) - UI becomes somewhat irresponsive.
However, no specific and reproducible details have been reported yet.
