Description Jan Ainali 2013-07-20 07:54:44 UTC
As reported on the Swedish feedback page:
http://sv.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia%3AVisualEditor%2F%C3%85terkoppling&diff=22695791&oldid=22693792

When there are blank lines before and after HTML comments, it seems like it is not possible to remove all of them. 

Ideally it should pe bossible to edit this version:

http://sv.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Abrostola_major&oldid=21896423

in a way that it gets like this:

http://sv.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Abrostola_major&diff=22695707&oldid=21896423

But in VE editing mode it is not possible to format it like that without accidentaly deleting templates on the page. Is it perhaps because of the HTML comments?
Comment 1 James Forrester 2014-01-22 18:54:22 UTC
Yes, this is caused by the lack of ability to edit HTML comments making it impossible for users to understand what they're doing; though there are slightly distinct issues here, I'm going to merge it with that feature request.
