I've got a bit of an issue with the 2017 wikitext editor. It's entirely possible for me to type too fast and cause the text to come out of sync with the contents - causing multiple lines of greyed text or having the text not reflect what I've typed. A recent example: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_Apollo_missions&diff=828614753&oldid=828614216 - I started typing Access, decided to do publisher first, and it got mangled. I type 72 (or so) words a minute and I am using Firefox Quantum latest version. ~ Matthewrbowker Talk to me 18:37, 3 March 2018 (UTC)

- Forgot some info - I am using MacOS 10.13 on Timeless. Though I've also seen this issue in Monobook. ~ Matthewrbowker Talk to me 18:39, 3 March 2018 (UTC)
Are you using syntax highlighting as well? We've made some recent improvements to text processing, so maybe check back in a few weeks when that is deployed.
Ed, I thought all our recent work in the area was deployed weeks ago? See another report from Gryllida.
- Yes, I'm using syntax highlighting. And I will re-enable in a few weeks, thank you. ~ Matthewrbowker Talk to me 20:57, 3 March 2018 (UTC)
Hi again. How is it going these days?
- Just enabled it again, will give you an update when I get to editing this evening US. ~ Matthewrbowker Talk to me 16:59, 21 March 2018 (UTC)
A number of weird bugs has been observed and fixed lately. Not sure the fixes are all live. Will revisit next week to see if all's good or not. Thanks for your patience!
