876858 - Editing Addon Reviews a few seconds after posting removes formatting

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(addons.mozilla.org Graveyard :: Public Pages, defect)

Description

[Ben]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.0; WOW64; rv:21.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/21.0 (Beta/Release)
Build ID: 20130511120803

Steps to reproduce:

I've no idea what "Component" this issue involves.

For months, if not > a year, when I submit a review on AMO, then quickly decide to edit it, all previous formatting, including paragraph breaks are removed.


Actual results:

Upon editing your own review w/in a few seconds or minutes after submitting it, in the edit screen, the original review becomes one long paragraph with no formatting of any kind.  Any formatting done using BB code is also deleted.

If you don't RE format the original review content before saving the edit, all original formatting is still lost.

I've been making a copy of my original review, w/ formatting, before submitting it.  Sometimes I forget & that's a pain.


Expected results:

When users edit reviews (as long as the Edit button is active) all formatting of initial / previous review should be retained.

This bug is affecting me also, the time taken between submitting the bug and editing doesn't seem to matter, the formatting always gets stripped out when you edit a reply to a review, this is a really annoying bug, and must be so easy to fix, can't anyone take a look at this and fix it?

what i meant to say is this bug also affects replies to reviews, in the same manner. 
first time you submit the reply, the linebreaks you entered are displayed after submbitting the reply.
but if you edit the reply, all the line breaks get stripped out.
