Created attachment 11509 [details] Screenshot showing the diff and the editor Steps to reproduce problem: * Open VisualEditor on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buri_Ram_Airport * The cursor will be on top of the article in a paragraph-placeholder with bold styling (because the first word of the article is bolded) * Type "a" Expected result: The character is inserted. Showing the diff now shows the addition of "'''a'''" (either above or below the {{infobox}}, doesn't really matter). Preferably below so that it is next to the paragraph it was added before. Actual result: The character is inserted. Visually nothing else changed (the infobox and the rest of the article are stil there). However, clicking "Review and save" now will show a diff where the infobox and the entire article have been removed and "'''a'''" was added in its place.
This is fundamentally an "editing what appears to be a blank space but is actually a slug means this behave in a way I did not anticipate" - assigning to CE, but we really need to talk about this and what we should do longer-term.

I think I know what's the reason of this problem. I will work on it next week.
This seems to be fixed already (try to reproduce on English Wikipedia).
