Closed, ResolvedPublic8 Estimated Story Points

Description

Cleared prefs to test. I'm in Chrome latest version, Win8.

  1. Edited my user page. Chose "Use the editor I chose last".
  2. Saved the edit.
  3. Edited that page again.
  4. The editing tabs dialog popped-up again (flashing, twice).

Seen at en.wiki and test2 as well.

I don't consider this a significant issue, as the editing pattern described here isn't at all common.

I am not contesting your Lowest priority, but I wouldn't say that "Edit -> Save -> Edit again" isn't at all common.

Anyway, the dialogs are gone from my editing life indeed, so I guess that most individual users will not care much about this problem either, even if they hit it.
