Description
Steps to replicate the issue
(include links if applicable):
Open a wiki page
Open VisualEditor
Press the "Add link" (chain icon) button
What happens?
In some cases, the "Insert link" widget appears but the suggestions will not appear, even if you type something in the field (or change its value). In other cases, the suggestions appear and the widget works as intended.
What should have happened instead?
The suggestions should consistently be displayed
Software version
(on
Special:Version
page; skip for WMF-hosted wikis like Wikipedia):
Other information
(browser name/version, screenshots, etc.):
Noticed on plwiki, also with
?safemode=1
. The issue manifests sometimes, forcing the page to refresh (eg. Shift-F5) may help to kick the browser's state a bit and may help in manifesting the issue.

I saw this once as well a couple days ago. I think I know what causes it (because I broke it).

I backported the patch, since the multiple reports indicate this is affecting more people than I thought. This should now be fixed on all Wikimedia wikis.
