Odd posting bug...

Something I've noticed. I don't like to double post when I reply to two different people in a thread.. it's a long habit of using the forums... and I came across an interesting bug.

Here's what I do.

The forums edit my post correctly but then ALSO post the quoted text from when I replied to James as it's own post.

Edit: The behavior below is what happens. I didn't force the bug because the forums ate THIS post and I'm access it via viewing all the recent posts I've made.

Test A: Posting is so much fun.

Test A: Posting is so much fun.

Test B: Posting sure is fun Urza.

Yep. Your first post hasn't really been discarded, and when you click "Save," it submits both the first and the second. You need to hit "cancel" on the first post, not just close the window.

Ahhh, never thought to hit cancel... even though I've seen it hundreds of times. I guess that's easier then deleting the extra post. :)
