Bug #: 39545
Summary: Comments break splitting of paragraphs
Product: Parsoid
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: General
AssignedTo: [email protected]

Classification: Unclassified

See http://parsoid.wmflabs.org/_rt/mw/VisualEditor:Test , and note how "many of
your questions" and "Note: The Edit button" are on the same line, while they're
really supposed to be in separate paragraphs.
Basically, what's going on here is that the wikitext:
Foo
<!-- Comment -->
Bar
is turned into this HTML:
<p>Foo
<!-- Comment -->
Bar</p>
while really the correct output is this:
<p>Foo</p>
<!-- Comment -->
<p>Bar</p>
This results in the page rendering as "Foo Bar" rather than "Foo [paragraph
break] Bar", and of course that means the way the editor renders it and lets
you edit it is wrong as well.
What's maybe even scarier is that this round-trips "correctly", i.e. the
wikitext->HTML conversion is wrong, but then the HTML->wikitext conversion is
wrong in exactly the reverse way, and that causes it to round-trip. I suspect
this is because of the presence of the newlines in the HTML, but that's also a
bug: ideally the serializer shouldn't convert a single <p> to wikitext
representing multiple paragraphs, regardless of newlines (this is very unlikely
to be a practical problem for VE though).
