But I did. I did a few bulk edits (of 3 or 4 issues at once) about a
week ago. I saw no problems then.

Has this been raised as a bug?

As I said before, I have not noticed any of this 'loss of discussion'
after editing an issue problem, and I am probably one of the most
prolific users/editors of the issue list. I'd put it down to other users
doing something 'funny' or perhaps something to do with their browsers
or local environment.

As I said, I am sorry for the noise.
