[QA] My first browser tests in VisualEditor

Wed Apr 2 04:48:38 UTC 2014

Thank you Chris, for helping me out.

I just changed the feature[1], so that I get the feel of using reference.
But there seems to be some problem, when I type text(using send_keys)
second time and make it refer to existing reference, The second line is
repeated again(It means 2nd line is printed twice).

Is it a bug ?
