81504 - default form field values displaced when reloading modified page [form sub]

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(Core :: Layout: Form Controls, defect)

Description

[Myk Melez [:myk] [@mykmelez]]

When you load a page that contains a form with fields that have default values,
then modify that page in a text editor, adding or subtracting form fields, and
then reload the page, the default form field values get displaced into the wrong
fields.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Download the test case to your local machine.
2. Load your local copy of the test case in Mozilla.
3. Use a text editor to edit the source code for the test case, uncommenting the
commented out form field.
4. Reload the test case in Mozilla.

Expected Results: All six fields contain their own default values.

Actual Results: The third form field contains the fourth's value (4), the fourth
contains the fifth's value (5), and the fifth contains the sixth's value (6).

Builds Tested On: Linux 2001-05-15-08, 2001-05-17-08

Additional Information:

The problem goes away if you hold down the shift key when reloading, so this may
be a cache issue.  The problem is not just cosmetic; the incorrect values are
posted if you submit the form (confirm this by submitting the test case).
