Repro: 1. Go to http://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=VisualEditor:Sandbox&action=edit&oldid=569294 , save, then edit it with VE 2. Insert '' in the word "link", save. diff: http://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=VisualEditor:Sandbox&diff=569295&oldid=569294 3. Edit it with VE again, select "li''nk", and make it italic, save. diff: http://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=VisualEditor:Sandbox&diff=next&oldid=569295 4. So many unexpected quotes
This is fixed in production in that it doesn't introduce the excess quotes any more, see https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=VisualEditor%3ABug39058&diff=571888&oldid=571887 . It still adds <span> tags though, but that's fixed on master. On my localhost, the diff I get is as follows, and I think that's perfectly reasonable: − '''This is a te<nowiki>''</nowiki>st page for bug 35058.''' + '''This is a ''te<nowiki>''</nowiki>st'' page for bug 35058.'''
