Below is a list of known issues and bugs with VisualEditor. We'll add to this list if we document others, and we'll note when they are resolved. Please use this thread to let us know about any other bugs you find!

Text

 * Anons can't add external links — captcha is broken
 * Redlinks are blue inside the VisualEditor
 * Header formatting is sometimes stripped when it is cut and pasted inside the VisualEditor
 * External links are sometimes displayed as wikitext, but save properly as external links

Photos and Videos

 * Media can't be easily deleted from articles
 * Center-aligned media has over-agressive shields
 * in-line images sometimes appear incorrectly
 * Sometimes non-thumbs will display captions and photo attribution

Templates

 * Some hidden template elements may sneak out of the template. Please show us examples when this happens!
 * The 'edit template' icon sometimes appears unattached from the template.
 * Templates can't be easily deleted from articles. (Workaround: open the template tool and click the red 'Remove template' button)
 * Template auto-suggest isn't displaying correctly when adding a new template.

Categories

 * Categories are not updated after the page is saved. A refresh fixes the problem
 * Category auto-suggest isn't displaying correctly when adding a new category
 * Categories cannot be removed inside the VisualEditor (though the icon exists)
 * Category sortkeys cannot be set inside the VisualEditor (though the field exists)

Misc.
 
 * The VisualEditor is not Theme Designer friendly yet. Please don't modify your Theme too drastically!
 * Some various keyboard shortcuts don't work or have changed. Let us know what you're looking for so we can get them on our queue.
