[fixed] Bug in edit/preview flow of forum posts?

Apologize if this has already been reported, but I couldn't find it in the first 5 or 6 pages of search results (after that they don't appear to be relevant).

1. Make a forum comment post with a typo. Bad fingers!
2. Go back and edit it. Click Preview before posting.  Preview, looks good.
3. Click Post.  Didn't change at all. 
4. Huh?  Edit again and Preview again before posting. Notice this time that while the preview updates, the text that shows up in the editor textarea below the preview isn't my edited text -- it's the original version. So, to edit - preview - post successfully, you have to copy your edited text from the preview area into the editor a second time before clicking Post.

Not earthshattering, but there it is.

  • Actually I have had a couple instance where I too have gone back to edit, and it'll then change the post to ONLY what I edit...
    eg:
    Orginal - When I first started a glitch I found it intimadating to interact/talk with other plays.

    I then think "oh I want to add .... " and will press edit and add
    EDIT: However, once I started to feel more comfortable I have slowly found it easier to interact, I love how friendly (most) of the community is!

    BUT When I then press enter, ONLY the edit sentence appears and not the orginal plus the edit.... umm I hope that makes sense?
