Bug ID: 51829
Summary: Removing a heading is hard, leaving ==<nowiki/>== or
turning the next paragraph into a heading
Product: VisualEditor
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: General

1. Visit any page on Wikipedia today.
2. Click "Edit" to enter VisualEditor.
3. Find a section heading and highlight it.
4. Press the DEL key on your keyboard to delete it.
5. Click "Save Page" then "Review your changes."
The heading text has been removed, but the following wikitext has been left in
its place.
==<nowiki/>==
Cancel the save, go back to the empty heading, and place your cursor in it.
Press DEL in an attempt to delete the empty heading. As a result, the entire
paragraph below the old heading turns into a heading.
So how on earth do you delete a heading? I canceled my edit, re-edited, and
this time, I highlighted the heading AND the first line of the paragraph
beneath it, and pressed DEL. Regardless, the whole paragraph turned into a
heading again.
I finally managed to delete a heading by placing the cursor at the end of the
preceding paragraph (after the last character of the paragraph) and dragging
all the way to the end of the heading, then pressing DEL. Now, the heading was
gone and nothing else turned into a heading.
In short, you must delete some kind of invisible character on the LINE ABOVE
the heading, in order to delete the heading. This is not expected behavior.
