Refreshing the page of a suggested edit audit kills the audit

Steps to repro :

  1. Find a suggested edit that seems suspicious (clearly an audit)
  2. Press F5 OR ctrl + r OR the refresh button (who uses the gui anyway)
  3. ...
  4. Break the audit! (see image)

Link to the audit Looks like autdits are re-used and the link is not longer valid.

enter image description here

When you get on a suggested edit that is an audit and accidentally refresh the page, instead of just showing the normal page with all four buttons it change for this layout with a "item is not reviewable". I've been reproducing it many times.

The normal behavior is exactly similar to the picture on the left below. The audit is not supposed to have "community" as its username AND should show the 4 buttons.

It's a way to avoid audits, and is pretty annoying!


If that matters I am on Chrome 25.


EDIT before even submitting the post! pretty sure it's the fastest edit to ever happen on SO

Repro'd Again!

Correct behavior (When you stumble for the first time on the edit.) enter image description here

Bad behavior (When you've refreshed the page.) enter image description here
