Cannot read previousSibling of null when inserting wp-view.

[programmin]

Steps to find the bug (WP 4.0 beta3):

1) Start a post with this in text editor:

<div>hello</div>
<div>goodbye</div>

2) With cursor at the start of the second line ("goodbye"), Go to add media, and insert a gallery or audio playlist.

3) Notice that an exception is thrown:

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'previousSibling' of null wp-tinymce.php?c=1&ver=4102-20140721:8

Oddly enough the wp-view seems to work normally immediately after, but there was major breakage when using editor in Tinymce-inline mode after this exception.

Confirmed, but could reproduce it in 3.9 too.

Still exists in 4.1.2

I've been testing with trunk and the issue seems to be gone

The error seems to be gone. However, inserting a view in a div is still very buggy. They're not made for it. See screenshot.

This seems now entirely resolved after [36434].
