#2948 Detect and notify about comment write conflicts like bugzilla
Closed: Won't Fix by wombelix. Opened by mcrha.

While dealing with [1], there happened a write conflict, which Bugzilla is able to detect and lets the user (the later) choose what to do, prevent the user looking like a fool, which happened to me at [1] (part of the fourth comment doesn't make sense due to the third comment, which wasn't there when I opened the page and even if it had been updated before I submitted that comment I really didn't notice it).

It would be nice if pagure could help in such situations, just in a similar way as bugzilla does.

We're relying on the SSE for this to live-refresh the page, we could look at changing this but this will be very low priority.

SSE? I do not want to refresh the page, the thing is that I do not notice that anything had been added after the comment I'm actually replying to (was the last when I opened the page), while I've been writing anything. I even look on the keyboard when I'm writing, which means it's quite easy to overlook a flashing of the page.

I really meant dealing with the write conflict as bugziila, which means that bugzilla shows me that some text had been added (and what it was) and let's me explicitly choose whether I really want to save all my changes, only add my comment, return back and revise the changes or discard it and start from scratch. That all helps and avoids looking like a fool for things out of my control (write conflicts can happen in a tick of the second, only the server knows the up-to-date version, not the client).

I don't see any doing, further activities or updates, going to close this issue for now.

I guess you mean activities from the developer point of view, because "waiting for a developer input" is the most the reported can do.

Nonetheless, if I'm the only one missing this then it's okay to WontFix it.
