VE altered wiki table markup, benignly
I made minor text and link edits to the table in mediawiki.org/Manual:Page_customizations. It worked! I note that VE added whitespace to the opening wiki table markup:

{| class="wikitable sortable    ^

This may not even be a low-priority bug, but my understanding is that Parsoid tries not to unnecessarily alter wiki markup. S Page (WMF) (talk) 19:23, 21 May 2013 (UTC)

allow Enter accelerator in [Review and save]
In old-skool Edit source I'm used to filling in the summary field, tabbing out of it, then pressing Enter to Save page. In VE's [Review and save] > Save your changes dialog, this doesn't work (it's not a form with a submit button, it just looks like one).

Sometimes I'll try to Tab-tab-tab over to the [Save page] button to press Enter on it... that doesn't work either (it's not a form element nor a link and doesn't have a tabindex). S Page (WMF) (talk) 01:27, 22 May 2013 (UTC)

New paragraphs in wrong order.
I tried to add new paragraphs after the first, but they showed up before, in inverse order. 200.219.132.104 14:39, 22 May 2013 (UTC)

Carry VisualEditor Edits to the 'Edit source' editor for the 'Edit source' onClick event.
When I make changes using Visual Editor and I click "Edit source", I would like those changes to be reflected in the wikitext editor. This is a good learning tool, and also helps me avoid losing edits. Ditto in the other direction. ABaso(WMF) (talk) 12:01, 25 May 2013 (UTC)
