I also see this a lot. In fact, just today I was thinking I should send in a bug report to Ben and the team. Thanks for calling this one out.

Thanks a lot. This was a case where I'm not surprised it happens but grossly misread the frequency. Knowing this will definitely help us prioritize this. A bug report detailing where exactly it happens would still be appreciated.

It happens pretty reliably like this:

  • write a post or comment and publish it.
  • edit it and publish.
  • someone else likes your post.
  • go to the Notifications screen.
  • click the post that was liked.
  • after a long delay, the original (unedited) post is displayed.
