There's a curious bug that keeps tripping me up on the Android app: votes sometimes appear to revert in the client, though they stick successfully server side. I'm using app version 1.0.54 on Android 4.4.3.
I've found a couple of ways this happens:
- I'll give a post an up/downvote, the vote arrow will light up and the score will adjust. About a second later, enough time for a server ping and reply, the score will revert and the vote arrow will become unlit. This one happens sometimes. It's been happening for a while, but I'm not sure what version it started.
- I'll vote, and then leave a comment. When I leave the comment, my vote will revert: arrow becomes unlit, score reverts. This one happens every time. I am pretty sure it emerged just now in this version, 1.0.54.
In either case, if I attempt to re-cast my vote, the app will give me an error saying I've already voted on this answer and can't vote again. If I refresh, I see my vote has stuck, with the arrow lit and score adjusted accordingly. So the votes definitely get cast and stick server side, but the client side goes back to a state before they happened.
This one trips me up all the time: I'll vote, take some action (comment or read or scroll), then think "I thought I voted for that", try again, and get the error.
I suspect it might have something to do with reloading the posts in question from some kind of internal cache after a server reply, and the cached version doesn't have my vote recorded.
