Edits suggested within a grace period shouldn't appear as part of the original edit in the review queue

Question

What?

Subsequent edits suggested either

• within their own grace period or
• within the grace period of the post

but after the initial edit was reviewed by a human, will appear to be a part of the original suggested edit, even if said review occurred prior to the subsequent additions to the suggestion.

Here's an example: I suggested an edit on Code Review, to change the post's title from

My Code is written in the Editor Processing and it codes a Pong - Game! Would be glad if someone could rate my Code! TY

to Pong in Processing. @SirPython reviewed it, approving the edit.

Then, I realised the question's tags were wrong, so within my original edit's grace period, I threw out java and added game.

I noticed that even though this edit occurred after SirPython's review, because it's in the grace period, it looks as if they'd reviewed it when it had not yet happened.

Steps to reproduce what I'm talking about

1. Suggest an edit to a post (preferably a question) on a site where you don't have edit privileges, that

2. gets reviewed within a grace period, then

3. within said grace period, append to the same edit, and

4. observe that the original review now contains all the subsequent suggestions in question, even though some of them had not yet happened at time of review

Why am I posting this?

I think this could be abused by suggesters and reviewers alike to allow harmful material to sneak through review, or to get reviewers in trouble by suggesting harmful content that shouldn't pass review, but will seem to have.

Moreover, there's no way for anyone to see the exact timeline of events inside the grace period, which exacerbates the issue.

What's the "request" here?

Change the behaviour of reviews of suggested edits within a grace period such that reviews only contain what the reviewer actually reviewed. muru's answer is pretty much this.

Answer 1

A really good solution should be, as @animuson has put up in this post, having a line of text which says how many times edits have been done during the grace period, which can be expanded for the reviewer to see the subsequent edits:

This would be very helpful for stopping people from sneaking in malicious/harmful edits, after a couple of approvals in the review queue.

This would also be a clean process of notifying the reviewers about the edits, rather than having a notification pop up in the review queue after every grace-period edit.

Answer 2

There's a lock applied to suggested edits when a reviewer is reviewing them, so that somebody who's trying to improve an edit doesn't get ninja'd by other reviewers.

I think this can be extended so that the grace period, if still ongoing, is terminated immediately when a reviewer first sees the suggested edit. This could also be applied outside the review queue, when a user with editing privileges approves or rejects an edit at the post.

The grace period is already terminated early if another user comments on the post. This would extend that behaviour to being reviewed.
