[savannah-help-public] [sr #108562] "Submit" appears in two places, hitting the wrong one loses your submission

[Richard Shann]

Follow-up Comment #2, sr #108562 (project administration):

>But it should be hidden under a CSS pulldown menu. It should be a link. Is
that what you are seeing? 

Yes, that is where I found it - the button that says Submit is out of sight
off the bottom of the screen, so I looked round for what to do next, having
typed in my bug report.

>click the browser back button. That should restore the form contents and
place you back to where you were before. 

You say I should be able to hit the back button - when I do this the contents
of what I typed has gone (I just tested this out right here typing in this,
but I took the precaution of copying what I had typed to the clipboard
first!)
It sounds like that is the real bug to fix, as you say, accidentally
navigating away is always possible, but you don't want to lose a heap of
typing when you do.
I didn't offer to fix this as it would result in a net loss to the free
software movement by diverting me from Denemo - I didn't realize there was
no-one with the code at their fingertips who could replace the label "Submit"
with "Create Submission" or some such. And, now, with your comment about the
back button behavior, I guess the problem is more severe - that would just be
an amelioration.
Finally, I just noticed that this form (the one for adding a new comment)
*does* have a button "Submit Changes" in view, towards the top. But the form
to create a bug report does not :(

[savannah-help-public] [sr #108565] Send Git commit notifications for dmd to guix-comm...@gnu.org

Follow-up Comment #2, sr #108565 (project administration):

Thanks, Bob.

The output of git-multimail looks like a great improvement to me, so yes,
that's be great if you could switch guix-commits over to that!

And while we're at it, guile-commits as well.

Thanks,
Ludo'.

I have no idea.  I looked at the logs though and it looks like you
have been able to commit since then.  I know I haven't done anything
since last we talked.  But you have been able to commit okay since 
then?


I was able to commit other file, but I just retried this one and I got 
the same error!



I might assume that this is the same system overloading problem that
we have been seeing otherwise.  But I haven't heard of other people
reporting problems with the direct version control connection of
svn, bzr, git, cvs.  It is usually a problem with the web interface
which times out talking to the backend.  Your symptoms do not fit the
known overloaded system failure signatures.


I think it is something different, file permissions again?
