Petition ID 1071: Preferences not saving on first try
Submitted Sun, 23 Sep 12 23:10:13 +0000

I'm not sure if this is just my account, or if this is a problem in general. So, in doubt, I'll assume it's just me.

WHAT: Whenever I change my preferences and click save, my preferences revert to the state that they were in before I made any changes. The changes only stick when I (without leaving the preferences page) make my changes again and click save a second time. This is particularly noticable (and irritating) when I'm trying to re-do my extended bio. Sometimes I forget to select all and copy before hitting save, and all of my changes are lost.

HOW: Go to 'Preferences', make a change to the extended bio (I'm not sure it happens for everything on the preferences setting, but I know it happens for the extended bio and physical description settings), and click save. The preferences should revert to what they were before you made the changes.

WHERE: Preferences, specifically extended bio and physical description, though I think it extends to other parts of the preferences pane as well.

WHEN: This is tricky. I think I remember having this problem before I went on my hiatus, so...two years or more?
