Impossible to edit the text that comes after a template

I have been facing the following issue on the wiktionary incubator project (Wt/nia) when editing using VE: the word entry, the definition and examples are always bound together with the template that comes before it.

Therefore it is impossible to edit them. Clicking on them would open the transclusion window of the template. The word, definition and example would be found in the content part ([[]]) of that transclusion window.

And this only happens to this particular part. Other text parts and other templates in the entry do not have this issue.

Update: I found out this would only happen to a template that comes after the heading level 2 (typically the name of the language). So the == heading == would create the issue above for the next template in text, however changing it to === heading === does not.

I get the same kind of problem when I'm editing some pages in the English Wikivoyage. (There, the first paragraph gets 'stuck' to the banner at the top of the page.)

Would you please take a look at T137942 and reply here to let me know whether that sounds like what you're seeing?

Thank you for your reply. The T137942 is a different case than the one I mentioned. Luckily the issue occurs only once in a while. However it is a frustrating experience for the new, unexperienced users on our incubator project, who really depend on the Visual Editor. I myself use the source editing so it doesn't bother me personally.
