This problem can be responsible for deleting comments if there is a conflict
with a second bug: A not recognized edit conflict. If you're doing an edit on
the edit conflict page, you're editing not a section but the entire article.
While editing one more edit conflict can happen with another user editing only
a section. Sometimes it happens that MediaWiki don't recognize an edit
conflicts. If so, than it could happen that the (meanwhile saved) edits from
the other user could be overwritten with the old version of page in the edit
conflict page and the edits getting lost.

So it happens today:
http://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Auskunft&diff=next&oldid=89518222

Previous I had three edit conflicts so that I was editing on the edit conflict
page. Meanwhile a user had saved another comment and so he was creating my
fourth edit conflict. But MediaWiki didn't recognize this. So as I was saving
my new edited edit conflict page, and the edit of the other user (in another
section) gets lost.

This problem could be solved by two solutions:
1. If the edit conflict page shows only the relevant sections
or
2. If edit conflicts would be solved more reliable (is there a bug report for
unresolved edit conflicts?).
