Description:
I just got an edit conflict on a discussion page (talk:Earthquake) and the content in the upper text window did not include the conflicting text; it was the text from before the conflicting change. Based on the EC display, I could have pasted my text into the upper window and re-submitted, clobbering the change which triggered the edit conflict.
A few minutes later I ran into another edit conflict which worked correctly. In that case, the change which triggered the EC was about six minutes before my submit, so this problem may only occur during a brief window following the first submit.
