Description

Author: obradovicgoran

Description:
User complained that their edit was replaced with content of another article that user claims they never opened for editing.[1]

Article history lists byte count for that edit (9.879) that is inconsistent with the actual content of the article.[2] When I reverted to that edit, I got the correct byte count (6.280)

This occurred around the time of error on database server. [3] Robert figured out that it might be in correlation (see comments on that blog post).

Unfortunately this is not worth to investigate anymore nowadays (3 1/2 years later) as the code has changed a lot...
