            Bug ID: 64651
           Summary: UI freezes when saving too many snaks
           Product: MediaWiki extensions
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Unprioritized
         Component: WikidataRepo

Under some circumstances, an error is caused in the front-end code that causes
freezing the UI when saving a list of snaks. A timing issue seems to be very
likely.
This was experienced on wikidata.org adding a seventh snak to a list of
reference snaks on a rather small item. I was able to reproduce the error
locally adding a 4th snak to a set of reference snaks on a rather huge item and
adding a 9th snak on a very small item. Consequently, this might correlate with
the overall item size in some way.
The error occurs in wikibase.SnakList.add, the function receives "null" instead
of a SnakList object. Apart from solving the actual issue, the mechanism should
be more robust since snaklistview.value() that is used to generate the
parameter may indeed return "null".
