If you make an edit with this interface, click on "Show changes" to check if edit is good and press "Publish", your edit will disappear.

That happens because after clicking on "Show changes", edit is removed and "Publish" click saves nothing.

Sorry to hear that, and thanks for letting us know! Feekback like this is very relevant in the projects current phase. I tried to reproduce the situation exactly as described:

  • In the conflict resolution interface I picked my side (the blue right side) and made an edit. Confirming the edit with the checkmark button is optional.
  • I clicked "Show changes". My edit appears in the diff, and the conflict resolution interface below.
  • I clicked the publish button. My edit appears in the final page.

I'm afraid we need more information to understand what exactly happened in the situation you run into. Do you remember if you did something different than described above? Did it happened again?

@Thiemo Kreuz (WMDE), I didn't knew about check mark. It is not mentioned in section "How to solve an edit conflict".

The differences is that I've picked and edited other side.

Here is the screenshots: before, after.

At the second screenshot you can see that left edit field is reverted to its original state.

Thanks a lot for the detailed response! What I can reproduce now is slightly different, but there is definitely something off that needs fixing. I created phab:T210501 to keep track of this issue.
