Hey,
it has been some time ago that I had asked for a feature: A more obvious way topaste plain text than having to know the right keyboard shortcut. This appears to have been added today! Thank you very much! :)ToBeFree (talk)19:33, 3 June 2018 (UTC)
Consider the following scenario:
1 - I make an edit using VisualEditor
2 - I click Show Preview.
In this instance, the edit summary is not shown in the preview. The main problem is that I might forget to initially add one; I may click Show Preview first to ensure that it looks fine and then immediately press Save. Additionally it does not give an opportunity to review any markup that I may have added to the edit summary (used to be possible in the wikimarkup era).
It would also be appreciated if a feature warning the user if the summary is blank and Save is pressed (after previewing), assuming that the edit is not minor).Leaderboard (talk)19:24, 10 June 2018 (UTC)
For table cells with short contents it is usually better for wikicode editors to have a whole table row in one wikicode row. However, the VE doesn't respect the existing code style and seems to prefer to create intractable wikicode.

FromWikipedia:VisualEditor/Feedback:
I tried to create a post in Wikipedia:Teahouse using the 'Click here to ask a question' button in the page. When I did that a JavaScript error showed up as a message similar to how CentralNotice messages show up in the side. The message stated about a TypeError.
TypeError: range is null

TypeError: range is null when I visit that page. Kaartic[talk]07:34, 21 July 2018 (UTC)&action=edit and two tabs produces one that says&veaction=edit. The link/button does the first.In the "2017 source code editor" (I think that's what it's called - the one that works with VisualEditor), sometimes when typing in text that goes towards the edge of the screen, the text near the end of each line gets a bit 'fuzzy' with what looks like a misaligned shadow.Here's a screenshot of one example.
I'm on macOS 10.13.5, and this screenshot was taken in Firefox Developer Edition 61, but I've also had this issue in the latest stable Chrome. Thanks!Numbermaniac (talk)05:57, 14 June 2018 (UTC)
Hi,
I'm using VisualEditor on my wiki for an accesibility purpose. I'm stuck with a little issue :
I'm usingExtension_talk:Labeled_Section_Transclusion and so I have "<section>" tags like this in my pages, then when something is edited with VE even if it doesn't concern "<section>" tags it's wrapped like this "<nowiki><section ...></nowiki>. I guess VE is doing this beacause it's really close to HTML tags but that's not the case and that breaks my section transclusions.
I found a topic asking about a similar problem but I don't understand how to manage this : [[VisualEditor/Feedback/Archive/2014/09#h-Visual_Editor_Programming:_No__around_html_tags_please-2014-09-24T12:17:00.000Z]]Also note that [[Extension_talk:Labeled_Section_Transclusion]] doesn't support syntaxes like <nowiki>{{#tag:section|params}} that would also be a way to solve the problem.
Is there any way to whitelist "<section>" tags or something like this ?
Note : When VE loads page contents it shows "<section>" tags in text content as if it was only text & with wikitextEditor there is no problemSadwiki (talk)11:28, 14 June 2018 (UTC)

Is there any way to stop VisualEditor scrolling the page down when inserting a hyperlink, as in this screenshot: http://prntscr.com/h34uht? If not, can there at least be an option made for it? It's slower to work with and harder to immediately click on the first result.· • SUM1 • · (talk)10:57, 19 June 2018 (UTC)

| Description | Pasting distorts the words in the sentence around it. |
|---|---|
| Intention: | I was trying to paste a sentence |
| Steps to Reproduce: | #First open up a page with visual editor
|
| Results: | The words got jumbled into a bunch of gibberish. E.g. in thisdiff, "Prior to this ban, there were debates" was changed to "T Prior to teis ban, thre hweredebates" |
| Expectations: | The reference to be pasted properly. |
| Page where the issue occurs | Some pages whenever Visual Editor is open, but occurs randomly. |
| Web browser | Google Chrome Version 67.0.3396.87 (Official Build) (64-bit) |
| Operating system | Windows 10 |
| Skin | Vector |
I don't know why this occurred. A fix or workaround would be appreciated. Thanks.Epic Genius (talk)17:33, 27 June 2018 (UTC)
