Wikimedia migrated from Bugzilla to Phabricator. Bug reports are handled in Wikimedia Phabricator.

If a page starts with a bulleted list, there's no way to put the cursor "in front of" the list styling.  If you want to add a non-list paragraph, you have to make a new, blank first bullet item and then remove the list formatting from the paragraph.

To reproduce:
1: Load a page in VE that starts with a bulleted list e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Thryduulf/sandbox4&oldid=575308394
2: Try to add text before the first bullet.

It is possible that fix for bug 52302 might also resolve this issue.

Sorry, that last line should reference bug 52032.
