Editing is reliable again — Even for long notes!
Posted by shimon under frassle , frassle/bugs/fixedI know I am tempting Murphy's law with a title like that, but if anything's wrong, I want to know. Well, unless it's the sort of thing that just goes away if you ignore it. Then I just want to ignore it.
So, I just applied a patch to a piece of frassle's infrastructure. I am hoping it has fixed a severe problem I and other users have experienced: losing the text of long posts.
Details: Intermittently, frassle would lose the text of posts when you tried to post. You'd hit post (or even preview) and frassle would save an empty message! This was the worst kind of bug, because it had terrible consequences and, because it was intermittent, I couldn't isolate it enough to test it properly.
I still can't test it properly, but I tested it as best possible and will be keeping my fingers crossed.
By the way, I can't believe I didn't do this sooner. I know some users have lost their work because of this, and am genuinely sorry for that.
