When using the new "one page" method of spooling articles and hitting reply to a post, one can edit one's subject line as well as one's post.

Upon hitting "Preview", the post comes up as it should, but if one then hits "Reply", the subject line become Re: $Previous_Post. The subject line reverts, presumably unless it is re-edited.

    I don't follow. OK, so you click Reply. You get a new page. You edit the subject line and type in your comment. You hit preview. You see the old subject line, not the one you entered? I cannot duplicate this.

    Yes, that's exactly what I get. I have attached a screenshot.

    There is a chance that it is a browser bug.

    What browser is it?

    Galeon 2.0.3, but I find that I get the same bug with SeaMonkey 1.0.9

    I've been trying to get Dillo and Links to co-operate, but I don't seem to be able to even get to your user page :-(

    I have no way of testing Galeon. SeaMonkey is powered by Firefox, and Firefox does not exhibit this problem. Hm.

    Firefox throws up the same issue for me :-/

    Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-GB; rv:1.8.0.1) Gecko/20060313 Fedora/1.5.0.1-9 Firefox/1.5.0.1 pango-text

    It's not the end of the world if this isn't fixed; I just need to remember to edit the subject line before I post.
