Based on this questions:

Suggested edits can be submitted even after a concurrent edit

Is concurrent editing detection working? (Answer: yes, but only if everyone is slow enough)

Today it happened to me that I was editing a question and at the same time, it was being edited by a user which has privileges to edit directly. Therefore, my edit seem to be as writing back what the user originally posted.

I will write a little example to understand this, let's say he wrote:

How can I does this?

Then the edit of the other user is changed to:

How can I do this? (he corrected the spelling)

So then, my suggested edit seems to be

How can I do this? -> How can I does this?

It seems like I am making the post worse even though I just modified a little part of it, that it's not the spelling.

How can I deal with this?

This is the suggested edit:

https://stackoverflow.com/review/suggested-edits/11654848

I ONLY changed the indentation and not any word of it, therefore it seems that I tried to make it worse..

    You can submit new edit suggestion, as far as I can tell it will be "merged" into your existing suggestion. Hurry up, 2 already voted to reject. That said, one rejection won't cause any harm, it won't cost you any rep and won't give any ban. (Only several rejections in a row will give an edit ban)

    However it's worth nothing that when you have less than 2k, it is asked that you fix everything wrong with the post that you can see rather than only a few things...
