Recently I noticed 2 topics where edits were logged twice. The edit timestamps appear the same, and the first edit shows no changes, while the second shows the expected changes.

Examples: [Discourse Version 2.2](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-version-2-2/95438) and [Developing Discourse Plugins - Part 6 - Add acceptance tests](https://meta.discourse.org/t/beginner-s-guide-to-creating-discourse-plugins-part-6-acceptance-tests/32619)

It’s not happening every time though, Discourse Version 2.3 was edited at the same time as the 2.2 topic, yet only one edit was logged.

That would be great if you could figure out how to repro this one ☝

Agreed, just had this happen on SP when altering a category description, it seemed to save the initial text of the topic and then my edit after it.

If you need an example, here it is: [About the Alibaba Cloud Services category - Alibaba Cloud Services - SitePoint Forums | Web Development & Design Community](https://www.sitepoint.com/community/t/about-the-alibaba-cloud-services-category/304890?u=cpradio)

Yeah, I’ve been playing with it, no consistent repro yet…

I’m still seeing this occur.

I believe we were not showing tags in the edit screen or something like that? Is this still an issue?
