Bug #: 31347
Summary: Data lost when creating threads in separate browser
tabs/windows
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: any
Platform: All
URL: http://translatewiki.net/w/i.php?title=Support&lqt_met
hod=talkpage_new_thread
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: major
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: LiquidThreads
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]

Classification: Unclassified
When several threads are creaded from parallel browser windows or threads, only
the first one survives when saved, all other data is lost.
You may wish to follw the link "Start a new discussion" several times, opening
the respective pages in new browser windows/tabs each time. While you can edit
the new threads in prallel, you can save only one. Saving the threads begun in
all other parallel tabs or windows yields nothing. They are not saved, and all
typed data is lost. You can however, retrieve the data when your browsers
"back" button supports restoring the pre-save state of input fields. Starting a
new thread after the unsuccessul "save", and copying the data to it, does start
another thread.
Put in other words, you can be creating only one thread at a time. Software
seems to silently set a semaphore from "start new thread" to "save the thread
from this window/tab" which inhibts starting another thread and invalidates all
corresponding "save" operations of ones started in between.
I did not try with different browsers on the same client computer, and I did
not try with different client computers but same user.
