Steps to reproduce: 1. Download and install Google input tools for windows www.google.co.in/inputtools 2. Open any page in firefox 3. Open VE 4. Edit a reference 5. Type anything in the reference. The word is input by the tools when the word is complete and one presses space/enter Expected Behaviour: The word is input and if the spacebar has been pressed, a space is input too. What happens instead: The word is entered recursively over and over. The space isn't input at all. System environment: Win 7 X64 SP1 Firefox 15.0.1 Google input tools for languages hindi and punjabi(gurmukhi script) The problem didn't seem to arise when using input tools for urdu, though its possible that's just coz the wiki is ltr and urdu is rtl.
There's code to address this bug in the following patch, which is due to go live by mediawiki.org on 13 September 2013: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/82858/ Please let us know whether it fixes the bug!
Marking this as "FIXED" on the expectation that it's fixed - please re-open if you find that it is still occurring.
Confirming that this is fixed in Firefox 23.0.1 on Win7 X64 SP1 for both punjabi (gurmukhi script) and hindi.
