A few times I've gone into thread to post something then either edited to add more take away some text but have found that if midway through editing I change my mind and push 'cancel' and leave the post as originally posted, when I go back into the thread I sometimes find that the changes have been made anyway. Is this normal and has anyone else had this?

I'm really confused. But yes. No wait no.

Edit: I've attempted to the translate in case anyone else was confused.

I doubt that it is possible TBH.

I've tested on various OS's and browsers and I can't replicate.
 
I bet you tried to edit that thread about banging your girlfriends sister, didn't you?

In all seriousness its never happened to me and I'm constantly editing and changing my mind. Doesn't happen when I use my phone browsers or desktop.
 
Yeah I just made it up because I wanted someone to talk to :rolleyes:

I wasn't suggesting your edit didn't occur. Were you on a mobile device? If so they are notorious for poor field definition of icons/buttons which can result in you clicking the wrong button without knowing it. Or maybe you clicked the wrong button in error? Otherwise I can't see how you edit could have been written to the database.
