Description

After editing a comment (or post), on save, the user is returned to the prior-to-editing cached copy.

If the comment (or post) is then again edited, the user is presented with the prior-to-editing cached copy. The second edit then overwrites the first.

This hus o typo! // original copy
This has o typo! // first edit
This hus o typo! // after save, cached copy displayed
This hus a typo! // second edit is to cached copy, first edit is overwritten

I see the value in caching, but stale caches lead to inconsistencies.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the comment and post edit flow described in the issue, then trace how the saved content is loaded and cached after submission. Done means the edited content is displayed immediately after saving and a second edit preserves the first edit rather than overwriting it.
