According to the (missing) edit summary, this wasn't a section edit. Can you
provide us with steps to reproduce the error, or tell us anything else that
might be useful in diagnosing this? As it stands, your report is far too
ambiguous to work on.

It would help to have some more information on the edit, such as:

• Were you working on other edits at the same time, for instance in another tab or

window?

• Did you submit the edit before the page fully loaded?
• Was there anything like an edit conflict screen or other warning notice?

I think I tried to save once before the page finished loading, but the server
gave me a preview instead. I made a slight change then and saved after the page
loaded. This was definitely a section edit; I'd used the [edit] link. The edit
summary is simply "/* */", since that section has no title. No other edits at
the same time, no edit conflicts or warnings.

Might be an issue with some of the form data getting lost, then; it could then carry
through from the preview to a bogus save. Will take a look at this...

Loss of data: severity=critical

I've since rearranged the edit form; please confirm if this still happens.
