Articles sometimes don't save within the sidebar sections and sometimes in the main content section

I was trying to add a family tree embed to one of my character articles, so I clicked on the copy family tree embed and pasted it onto one of the sidebar sections., I noticed it didn't save automatically so I manually saved it, but when I clicked on view article it just wasn't there. When I looked at edit article to see if the family tree code I pasted was there but it wasn't. I tried again, copying the family tree code and pasting it on the article, including the other sidebar sections, as well as multiple times in the main content section but that also didn't save it. I hope this bug can be fixed soon.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Copy Family Tree Embed   2. Paste it anywhere on main content section or sidebar section   3. Save it and click view article   4. Family tree didn't save

Its not just family trees as well I can't choose leaders of organizations or the founders. Geographical locations or anything that involves selecting other articles that already exist for sidebars. And I'm on Firefox so it's not just Google Crome having a problem as well.

I've just found out there's a way to to force it to save by typing anything after pasting the code! And probably before it as well! You can put like a couple of random letters after and it'll save the code too as well as the letters! I'm pretty sure you can remove the letters after too so this is a way to bypass the bug until it's fixed ^^ I'm guessing the code for saving articles has something to do only telling it save only when something is typed, but not telling it to save after something is pasted. Or, at least that's my theory as to why it doesn't save it.

Hello Luna, that is correct - we are working on a new version but currently you need to type something for it to save.
