“Ask a Question” question box has previously asked question

I meet a little strange event today: while I'm editing a question, suddenly I remember that I have another question to ask. So I open the second tab to create the second question. But its content is the same as the first question that I'm editing! I guess this is a feature that only let a member ask a question at a time, so I finish the first question, then push "Ask question" again.

But even after that, the question box appears still filled by the first question content! Am I only permitted to ask 1 question at a time? And the tag field has some strange things in it, as shown below.

I have the feelings that I should wait a little before asking the second question. But after half hour waiting, it's the same whenever I push the "Ask question" button.

  • The first part of your question refers to the draft feature.is the tag bug reproducible? I got that once, but a reload made it go away

    I got that once more. I think it's due to incompletely loaded javascript. A reload makes it go away.

  • @abel: if it's like you said, maybe better if they use something like document.ready()

That's not a bug, that's a feature

  • We save drafts automatically for all new answers and new questions once every 45 seconds
  • You only get one draft for an answer and one for a question. (If you start a new post, old draft is blown away.)

And the tag field has some strange things in it, as shown below.

Seems like the hint-text for tags was not cleared

  • @Sathya: I think it's better if the website know that my question has been published, and not display it again. When it appears the first time, I think I have accidently click some kind of "edit" my question. Thanks for the answer.

  • @Sathya: May you try following my procedure described in the question? I don't know what happens, but now everytime I click: "Ask Question", the tag cloud appears like the picture above. May the draft saved before I added the tag?

  • @HoàngLong I tried to reproduce the bug using the steps you outlined, but I cannot seem to do so.

  • @Sathya: The bug for me is still here, but I need to post question to reproduce it. Where should I post a fake question to make it appear again?

  • @HoàngLong try posting in meta itself, w/ a disclaimer not to close it because you're trying to repro a bug

  • @Sathya: I have encountered the bug another time in stackoverflow, when I lost internet connectivity while posting an answer. But now I just seems can't re-produce the bug. Maybe it has something to do with the timing, or someone has already fixed it
