Description vssun 2013-07-02 09:59:29 UTC 
I have noticed an unexpected behavior while tesing Visual Editor with Malayalam Wikipedia. Describing the steps below:-

1. Added the following text on a page

ഡിസ്രയേലി

2. When pressing a backspace immediately after the above text, it becomes

ഡസരയ

ie. many characters in between the original text disappeared. The expected result was ഡിസ്രയേ

@vssun: Any specific browser? Can't reproduce it in Chrome.
Comment 2 vssun 2013-07-06 18:17:39 UTC 
Browser was Firefox 22.
Comment 3 vssun 2013-07-06 18:28:32 UTC 
The bug 50507 is very much related to this. There, the reporter says that the characters ്, െ etc are not allowed to type.

Here the case is different but the characters are same. Characters, ി, ് and േ  (the vowel symbols of malayalam, which are joined together with preceeding consonants) are disappearing when pressing the backspace.
