Bug ID: 52271
Summary: VisualEditor: editing a pasted template alters copy
buffer
Product: VisualEditor
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: ContentEditable
Assignee: [email protected]

Mike Christie at en.wp reports that when performing the sequence:
1. copy template,
2. paste template,
3. edit parameter of pasted template,
4. paste template
Step 4 pastes the template with the parameter values added in step 3 not the
original ones.
"To reproduce:
1 Edit [[User:Mike Christie/Sandbox3]] in VE.
2 Select the 13 C (produced with {{chem|13|C}} ) in the middle using the
mouse; make sure to select some text on either side, since pasting a template
doesn't work unless it's embedded in a string. The colons are there to make it
easy to be sure you've got some text in addition to the template.
3 Copy the selected text and then paste it at the end of the sentence.
4 Click on the pasted template, click on the jigsaw piece, and change the 13
in parameter 1 to a 15. Apply changes.
5 Now paste again at the end of the sentence. You'll see that the pasted
template contains a 15, not a 13; so the copy/paste buffer was modified by the
edit to the pasted template."
Another test case using a different template:
1. Edit
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Thryduulf/sandbox&oldid=566402676#Section_3:_tl.2C_etc_templates_added_in_VE
in VE
2. select "tlp: {{tlp|as of|1999}} :" and copy it to the clipboard
3. paste the template elsewhere.
4. edit the template you have just pasted (change parameter 2 to 2013) and
apply the changes.
5. paste the template again.
Expected result: tlp: {{tlp|as of|1999}} :
Actual result: tlp: {{tlp|as of|2013}} :
Interestingly, pasting into a text editor gives the 1999 value as originally
copied, not the 2013 value you get pasting into VE.
