VisualEditor/Feedback

Post your feedback about using the visual editor.

If you have never provided feedback before, you can learn how to do it effectively. If you are reporting a problem directly on this page, please include your web browser, computer operating system, and wiki skin (usually Vector, sometimes Monobook). The feedback tool within the visual editor will include your user agent details instead.

You can use this page to tell the Wikimedia developers your ideas and issues about using the visual editor: this is the only feedback page actively monitored by WMF staff. The Contributors team welcomes your feedback and ideas, especially on user interface decisions and the priorities for adding new features. All comments are read, in any language, but personal replies are not guaranteed: the team will try and go through reports here at least once a week. Need more attention? Report directly in Phabricator. Please note that the Wikimedia Foundation does not provide support for installing VisualEditor on third-party wikis. Please report bugs involving Parsoid at Talk:Parsoid instead.

You may also want to read a guide to optimize the visual editor's experience on your site, which details work necessary on the community side (such as translating or setting up citation systems).

Very likely spam, or someone who's just complaining or has no real wish for a resolution, and won't be back to read replies anyway. I thought I'd "translate" the "French-SMSese" into real French, and then to English, just in case:

"C'est bien, mais on se fait bloquer trop facilement. S'il vous plait, arretez s.v.p.; c'est chiant de A a Zed, la fin."

"It's fine, but you get stuck too easily. Please, stop please; it's effing annoying from A to Z. The End."

Il y a un problème avec visualeditor et la modification de formule entre balise "math". Quand on appuie sur modifier, le curseur apparait au milieu de la formule, au lieu d'apparaitre à la fin de celle-ci. Ainsi, quand on cherche à modifier la formule, celle -ci ne se modifie pas pas là où est le curseur mais beaucoup plus à droite.

We have an issue with visualeditor and formula between tag "math". When we try to modify a formula, the cursor appears in the middle of the formula, instead of at the end of it. And, when we try a modification, the change is made, not where the cursor is, but much further to the right.

When user using Chinese use VE and type in Chinese words and add source for it (such us ^[1]), if they continue to type the next word, the words they typed in would be deleted unexpectedly. It will only happen on the first word after the source, and won't happen every time.

For example, we have typed in:

这是一个例子^[1]

and we will type the next character or word (e.g.内, nei),

first we type n:

这是一个例子^[1]n 【n>1.你 2.呢 3.那 4.您 5.年】←the Chinese input program

and then we type e:

这是一个例子 【ne>1.呢 2.讷 3.那 4.呐 5.哪】

and then we type i:

这是一个 【nei>1.内 2.馁 3.那 4.哪 5.娞】

and we finally press 1 to choose "内", it will be:

这是

If we continue to type more, it will be deleted more...

Normally it should be:

这是一个例子^[1]

这是一个例子^[1]n 【n>1.你 2.呢 3.那 4.您 5.年】

这是一个例子^[1]ne 【ne>1.呢 2.讷 3.那 4.呐 5.哪】

这是一个例子^[1]nei 【nei>1.内 2.馁 3.那 4.哪 5.娞】

这是一个例子^[1]内

seems VisualEditor:Test does not work

but i see only "edit source", no "edit", in any page on this site

When you type Chinese characters after the reference using Microsoft's own Pinyin input method, there is a high probability that the Chinese characters will not be typed. Also, the preceding content will be removed for no reason.

I guess I should have posted here (duplicate of Topic:X7cpvcy75tfx0s7d)

I presently have a couple of extensions which are integrated with VisualEditor in MW 1.35. I am trying to migrate them to the new version (MW 1.39 RC1, downloaded zip) but I am getting a number of errors: non existing functions (template spec extend, onRawFallbackButtonClick, getParameterNames..). I have not been able to find documentation explaining how to migrate. Is there any available? Any help you can provide? I also could not find a list of extensions integrated in VE, which I could use to perform code comparisons.

And to be ultra precise, here is the error I am getting. Note I have not changed the code and it was working fine in my previous version of MW.

In my extension module, I have implemented the function insertTransclusionNode. In it, when inserting a new node, once I have build my object (getPlainObject), I call the following function

surfaceFragment.insertContent( [{type: 'gacdmslinker',attributes: {mw: obj,calaction: 'insert'}},{ type: '/gacdmslinker' }] );

and this is when I get the following error:

VM522:28 Uncaught TypeError: Converting circular structure to JSON

    --> starting at object with constructor 'VeDmDocument'

    |     property 'bindings' -> object with constructor 'Object'

    |     property 'transact' -> object with constructor 'Array'

    |     ...

    |     property 'context' -> object with constructor 'VeDmInternalList'

    --- property 'document' closes the circle

    at JSON.stringify (<anonymous>)

    at ve.dm.Surface.storeChanges (load.php?lang=en&modules=ext.visualEditor.core%2Cmwtransclusion&skin=vector&version=1lvvz:180:941)

    at OO.EventEmitter.emit (<anonymous>:28:656)

    at ve.dm.Surface.breakpoint (load.php?lang=en&modules=ext.visualEditor.core%2Cmwtransclusion&skin=vector&version=1lvvz:175:902)

The weird thing is, my object (gacdmslinkernode) is still created in the sense that, if I save the document and re-edit it with VE, it shows up correcly. However, the error seems to be preventing the insertion of the title of the object (but not of the associated icon) and instead it uses the page title as the title. And also, when I update an existing node, I get no error and it works fine.
