Sorry for my english, it’s a bit technical for me.

When I use the wrench then the following options : `Select Posts...` \> `delete selected` after selecting 5+ posts, it’s buggy, sometimes

The first time I tried this : I selected 200+ posts, deleted it, but when I refreshed the page, they weren’t deleted.

After upgrading to the latest version, I didn’t try to delete 100+ posts again, I try a few at a time

- If I select 10 or less posts, it usually works fine
- if I select between 10 and 30 posts the selected posts have the deleted background (red in my case) for a few seconds then change to their usual background (white background)… But after a refresh they are in fact deleted.
- If I select 30+ posts, the posts **can** stay undeleted. (EDIT : in fact, after a refresh one minute later, they are deleted. It makes sense, must be sidekiq who needs time)

It’s not an exact science, sometimes it works fine, sometimes not, it’s a bit weird.

Tested on Firefox and Chrome on latest Discourse version.
