Intention: Copyedit a page Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open a page with pre-existing content. 2. Type or change some of the text (I was adding a new first line). 3. Select and cut (⌘ Command+x) some pre-existing text (I cut mine from the end of the third line). 4. Notice that what you typed on the first line has been undone. 5. Paste what you cut (in my case, at the end of the first line). 6. Notice that what you typed on the first line has been redone. Expected Results: That text would not magically disappear and reappear. Reproducible: Always I experienced this on office.wikipedia.org using Safari 6 on Mac OS 10.7.5. It was confirmed at en.wikipedia.org using Vector/Chrome 30/Windows 7, with the additional discoveries that: If you type your new first line all in one go (so that 'undo' would remove the whole first line), the first character of the new line remains present. The undone text only reappears if you paste your cut text onto the line with the now-missing text.
I have a similar issue that makes Safari reopen a closed tab, same with cmd-x. It doesn't happen immediately and in all cases though.

I'm pretty sure it's impossible for VisualEditor to cause a browser to re-open a tab; you probably have a keyboard mapping clash or something similar?
Whether it's impossible or not, it happens every time I use Command-X in Safari after closing a tab. It only happens if "Undo closed tab" is listed in Safari's Edit menu as the action for undo/Command-Z. It's bug 58724.
My computer is brand new, no custom shortcuts. Maybe VE is using a keyboard shortcut hack to make undo possible.
Fixed at the same time as bug 58724.
