An issue with current version of Trac

[Graham Dutton]

Some things to be careful of when using this Trac:

On editing a ticket, after every invocation of Preview, "assign to" returns to the active user, rather than retaining the initial selection.

Also, there seems to be no way to edit a ticket summary after the ticket has been created, which is a problem for empty-titled tickets.

Perhaps these should be submitted to Trac's own bug list.

[David Aspinall <da+pgtrac@…>]

You're right, I noticed both...

• Assign to: I'm not sure if this is the same behaviour as when authentication is working. Maybe a design decision to encourage commenters to take on the bugs themselves(?)
• Editing summary: one should use Preview before Submit changes.
  Editing has a race condition for eager workers? For some more sane arguments see trac ticket ​http://trac.edgewall.org/ticket/454

Hang on, we can edit summaries in the Change Properties box. I've seen this done lots of times come to think of it.

And admins can edit the ticket description, see here: ​http://trac.edgewall.org/ticket/1180

I don't think I made anonymous an admin user so we don't see that at the moment.
