Bug ID: 64760
Summary: VisualEditor: Sometimes pasting text into a page
results in only part of the text appearing.
Product: VisualEditor
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: General
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]

Web browser: ---
Mobile Platform: ---
Intention:
Paste some text into a page.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Discover some blanking in an article; copy the previous text (all plain
text, no wikitext formatting) out of the diff.
2. Open VisualEditor.
3. Paste the text back into the correct place.
Actual Results:
Some of the text appeared, but most of it didn't. This happened sometimes in
Firefox and sometimes in Safari.
The desired text was this:
The history of the custom is rooted not necessarily for the provision of goods
for the upcoming matrimonial home, but to provide goods and financial
assistance to ensure the wedding may take place.
The actual text pasted was this:
the , the wedding .
Pasting the text first into a plain text document, and then copying that and
pasting it into VisualEditor seemed to resolve the problem—or perhaps it just
randomly worked that time.
Copying a different paragraph (but also still plain text, with no wikitext
markup) out of a diff resulted in one identical error and one even worse, in
which the text was mostly missing but the diff's table-style formatting was
preserved.
I can't get this to happen every time yet.
Reproducible: Sometimes
