            Bug ID: 51786
           Summary: Parsoid deletes table syntax if it doesn't recognise
                    it as a table / the table is malformed
           Product: Parsoid
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Unprioritized
         Component: General
          Assignee: gwi...@wikimedia.org
          Reporter: cmcke...@sucs.org

A user on the English Wikipedia reports that when saving an edit to the lead of
an article in Visual Editor, a table lower down the page was "modified and
broken":

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=2013_Hillsboro_Hops_season&diff=565234138&oldid=565068343
 

Note that it didn't alter the opening of the table.

About a week prior, an edit with VE to a page in my userspace that contains an
unfinished and unclosed table similarly had all the table syntax deleted
exlcuding the first line of the table.
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Thryduulf/Hierarchy_of_content_decisions&diff=564156742&oldid=564156599
 

This is obviously very broken in that it leads to significant content
corruption, even running together words in the in the second example.

It doesn't happen every time, for example I wasn't able to reproduce it in my
sandbox
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Thryduulf/sandbox&diff=565239631&oldid=565239447
and earlier tests showed that simply removing the closing |} is not sufficient
to trigger this.

Possibly this is related to bug 50104 and/or 51172
