Data lost when creating threads in separate browser tabs/windows
Closed, DeclinedPublic

Description

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.
