The one problem sometimes (not always) appears using editor: If you prefer to keep bibliographical data out of the endnotes, you have to use ref tags like "#xxx" to link to a bibliography. Often the editor refers to the whole page, so that it will be loaded again. For now I have to switch to the source editor in order to fix it. It would be more elegant, if the window of a note (<ref>) finds the anchors automatically. If they are chosen, there should be no link to the identical page (which causes reloading). By the way, if you use bibliography lists, it is not very useful that cite templates are always in a note. Within the beta editor, this forces to switch to the source editor.

Right now the editor needs some time to open and it jumps to the right position not before you try to change something and it needs some time to place the cursor (never on the first attempt). Sometimes it does not open at all, and if opened, the open window is sometimes unstable.

This is an old bug: Whenever beta editor has saved changes, a second reload is necessary to let notes pop up again.

Another bug report:

I would like to add, that I get several times an error report, while opening the beta editor a second time. It tells me that I am not working an the current version on the page (which is not true!). I also checked the history and there was no interference with another user.

Hey Platonykiss, not sure if this is a problem with VE, but I'd encourage you to add details (example page, browser, operating system, skin...) so that User:Jdforrester (WMF) can tell us what's going on. Regards,

Quite frankly, I do not know, what is going on...

You do the changes, and right now Betaeditor works so badly (nearly like MS Word, doing a lot of things that it should not do), that I do not longer use it. It would be a waste of time!

Concerning the language tool, the offer for Greek characters is not sufficient. It should be polytonic Greek. If you prefere to spare buttons, the diacritics should be used in combination (unlike you do now).
