Description
I randomly encounter this issue while inspecting tasks.
Sometimes, a task needs some editing, and after modifying it, it sometimes revert the task status from Fixed back to Created.
In the past, I've always wondered how we're getting a few "created" tasks but it seems this action seems to be triggering it sometimes.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the reported behavior with a task inspection tab left open while editing a task, then trace the frontend task-edit and status-update flow. Done means a task that is changed from Fixed to Created does not unexpectedly revert to Created after being inspected or edited.
