Description

Hi,

Here's my problem...

Scenario: When building lists I select all of the items returned by the search as positive or negative. I know I have done this because a) I have just done it b) the counter at the top left of the screen says there are no more unresolved codes.

Problem: When I then click over to look at the conflicts loads of unresolved codes reappear. It has't remembered my choices and I'm forced to do a load of them again. And again. Etc

This also happens if I click save changes.

What I think is going on - It's just really slow to save the list (don't ask me why!).

Why I think this - If I leave the page for a few mins before saving, it doesn't happen.

Cheers,
Joe
