Thread:VisualEditor/Feedback/VisualEditor has odd text-input behavior and generally doesn't save edits

I've gotten VisualEditor installed and running with Parsoid, or I think so anyway. But when I go to edit a page, it loads for a moment, then lets me edit, however the behavior is extremely erratic; Typing in text will put it all on one line regardless of breaks, using Enter usually puts the break above the line you're on, and saving changes results in a blank page with an odd character for each time you hit Enter.

Any advice or ideas on what I've done wrong here? I'm on the latest mediawiki version. Thanks for the app guys, if I can get VE working it'll be fantastic!
