I've encountered a reproducible bug in (my installation of) Movable Type 2.6.3 related to deleting comments -- when I select a comment and choose 'delete', then confirm in the window that pops up, I'm returned to the 'edit entry' page for that entry, but with the deleted comment appearing in the 'entry body' field!

The first time this happened, I didn't notice and clicked 'save' to cause the entry to be rebuilt and, sure enough, the entry was replaced by the comment I'd intended to delete.

This latest time, I realized what was going on and so clicked 'previous entry' and then 'next entry' to refresh the entry page, and the actual body of that entry appeared properly as expected.

?

I have seen this problem as well in multiple browsers (Camino, Safari, OmniWeb). Very serious issue.

I have had this same problem on my blog and I noticed that the propriator at jasonzada.com has also had this problem. (permalink to an example post) Seems to be a bonifide bug.

And what browser are you using?

I'm using Safari Beta 2 (Build 73) but I haven't tried to replicate it in other browsers. I'll give that a shot a little later today.

Same problem for me with Safari 1.0 and all previous versions. Serious bug because if you then hit "Save" again, the deleted comment becomes the main post with no revert position.

So....it seems to me that this is a Safari bug, not an MT bug??

Yes, this is a bug in Safari... after a redirect from page A to page B, if page B contains any form fields with the same names as those on page A, the fields on page B are filled in with the values from page A.

We're trying to figure out a way to work around it. If it's a caching problem (possible, since Safari is rather aggressive with caching) we may be able to add more caching headers (we are sending "Pragma: no-cache" and "Cache-Control: no-cache" now) to disable it.

If you come up with anything, please let us know.
