Thread:VisualEditor/Feedback/Does not work at all/reply

I have now figured out what was going on. When I click "Edit" to invoke the visual editor, the article appears in an unfinished state, with gray text and all looking a bit odd. If I click on it while it's in this state, strange things happen. What I am meant to do is wait for a few seconds, then what looks like the original article appears instead of the unfinished gray stuff, but is editable.
