Bug ID: 68494
Summary: VisualEditor: When cursor is on a template, "Insert >
Template" does not insert a new template
Product: VisualEditor
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Editing Tools
Assignee: [email protected]

Use case:
1. On a page with a heading and some text. Put cursor at start of the paragraph
after the heading.
2. Insert a template (ends up selecting it after finishing insertion)
3. "Insert" another template.
Expected:
A new dialog pops up with ability to select a template to insert etc.
Actual:
A dialog to edit the existing template appears.
After being genuinely confused for a minute I realised that the confusion came
from the menu label being "Insert". A while back, the Template button was
separate on the toolbar (or under "More" or "Tools" whatever it was). Back
then, like still the case with links, it was more natural to assume it will
edit and not create a template when a template is selected already because the
button would be rendered "pressed down" (again, like we do for links). However
the menu has been relabelled to "Insert" and the Template button/menu-item no
longer appears pressed down when a Template is selected.
Perhaps we should make it render pressed down again. Or make it actually insert
a new one at the current cursor position (which means the template in case of a
highlighted node) thus restricting users to only edit nodes for something in
the "Insert" menu via the context menu.
