Description:
Hi.
I stumbled upon a serious issue with having an edit conflict. Result of this edit conflict was me reverting the previous edit by another athor.[1]
The edit I did was just adding a single character (a '-' between 'STOL' and 'Flugzeug' in the first sentence). In the meantime, bevor i saved my edit, another user did a more complex edit, but including the character that i was about to add.[2]
As far as i realize when I saved my edit, the software recognizes that both edits can be merged. I didn't get any hint that there was an edit conflict, but my edit was just saved. Result was that just my character change was saved, reverting all of the other changed that were made by the previous edit.
