When I try to submit a dev reply to a misleading review, I get this error:

"There are errors in this form. Please correct them and resubmit."

Some quick googling reveals it may be related to the "sessionCheck" form field, but I don't really know.



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. try to post a developer reply
2. watch for "There are errors in this form. Please correct them and resubmit." when the page refreshes
Actual Results:  
I get stuck in a loop of submitting the form and getting the same error message.  The reply I entered also has its tabs replaced its newlines replaced with \r\n and its apostrophes replaced with \'.

Expected Results:  
My reply should have been posted.

Apparently one of the attempts worked because my reply is now showing up.

If you didn't enter a reply title, this is bug 469899.

It tells you what the error is if you don't include a title, which I did.

This may have been transient, wfm.
