Here's data from Keith's recent example on https://sourceforge.net/p/mingw/bugs/1995/ in which he replied to Earnie's "Can you point out" and it ended up as an "edit".
That single post has data: ~~~~ db.post.find({slug:'3193/08d1'}).pretty() { "_id" : "2ea605ffa93193e59c9130e6e9f157173a07ef97.b...@mingw.p.sourceforge.net", "import_id" : null, "status" : "ok", "spam_check_id" : "", "tool_version" : { "tickets" : "0.0" }, "deleted" : false, "text" : "Can you point out the non white space changes?

The web log corresponding to that edit date is: [25/Jun/2013:13:14:12 +0000] "POST /p/mingw/bugs/_discuss/thread/5b408c28/3193/08d1/reply HTTP/1.1" 302 267 "https://sourceforge.net/p/mingw/bugs/1995/" That has /reply in it, which indicates the reply form was used (not edit form). I don't have any suggestions for how to reliably duplicate it, unfortunately. --- ** [tickets:#6381] Allura tickets system intermittently discards replies to comments [ss4454]** **Status:** in-progress **Labels:** support p2 42cc **Created:** Thu Jun 20, 2013 01:28 PM UTC by Chris Tsai **Last Updated:** Tue Jun 25, 2013 01:22 PM UTC **Owner:** nobody Ref: [allura:tickets:#4454] keithmarshall: >>>Within the browser view of a ticket, I'll select the "reply" option in one >>>of the follow-up comment panes.

So we don't need to do a lot of timestamp comparing to figure out which reply specifically, it looks like it's this one: https://sourceforge.net/p/mingw/bugs/1989/#3e85/cd7b/d222/aba9/76e9 --- Sent from sourceforge.net because allura-dev@incubator.apache.org is subscribed to https://sourceforge.net/p/allura/tickets/ To unsubscribe from further messages, a project admin can change settings at https://sourceforge.net/p/allura/admin/tickets/options.
