May be dup of 50213? User:Joe Decker reports: The revision of an article here (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=David_Busic&oldid=562867623) has an interesting thing, a completely empty bulleted list item, which does not normally display when the article is read. It is just below the reflist, you can both confirm this in the old-style editor, and see it visually in VisualEditor. However, I have found myself unable to delete that from within Visual Editor without also deleting the preceding reference list, which is a little wacky from a UI point of view. E.g., I attempt to backspace over the bullet and I lose a reference list. Reproduced on Chrome and Safari. --j⚛e deckertalk 18:48, 4 July 2013 (UTC) Replicated by me.
Had the same experience in http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The_Mortal_Instruments%3A_City_of_Bones_%28soundtrack%29&diff=566255621&oldid=566255504 . The empty bulleted list here was something in a sort of template used by the initial creator of the article, to vertically separate two comments. The bulleted list is not visible in the article when read, but is visible in VE: so the careful editor goes to delete this rubbish, and deletes the item above (not the hidden comment, but the reflist, in this case). I'm in Firefox 22 on Vista.
This now works, probably caused by Ed's re-working of GCNs.
