Disappearing text

While working on pages, several of my eduzendium microbiology students report all the text is deleted when they save after using the edit buttons next to the section headings. I checked it out and it happened to me too. Looks like a bug or something. I'm telling everyone to use the edit button at the top of the page, but this might need to be looked into. John J.

I think David Volk had a similar problem using the edit intro button. I have never had this problem and have tried to recreate the problem too. i use a MAC so possibly this is a PC specific problem? Chris Day 15:23, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

It is easy -- I've done it -- to edit a section and incorrectly save it, perhaps if paging back and forth. I tend to suspect human error; I almost always edit the whole page unless I'm doing something very specific such as checking a footnote -- then I just edit, read, and close without saving. Howard C.

Very weird.

I was just following all your recent edits John. What system are you using? That does not happen to me and I almost always use the section edit links. Chris Day 17:20, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

Let's se if I can do it with IE 8.0 D. Matt Innis 17:22, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

Yup, did it to me, too! That is definitely the trick. Click edit and save without editing.. Wow. D. Matt Innis 17:23, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
