While doing some testing on the user experience of multiple users concurrently editing a shared post via the shared-edits plugin, I ran into scenarios where parts of new additions where silently dropped or new content wa… --- ## [Discourse Shared Edits](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-shared-edits/167583)

Hello :waving\_hand: I think I found a bug related to shared edit wiki posts. Scenario: a post that is turned into a wiki and has shared edits enabled as a user who is neither the original author, nor a moderator (jus… --- ## [Refreshed shared edits plugin](https://meta.discourse.org/t/refreshed-shared-edits-plugin/396156)

We have been busy revising and improving the shared edits plugin :confetti\_ball: : The new shared edits plugin now supports operating in one of two modes.

This plugin currently gives 500 errors and can lose data. I disabled it after such an event. Sorry I can’t report anything more now. Only that it could not be disabled once enabled. --- ## [Cursor keeps moving to the bottom of the composer](https://meta.discourse.org/t/cursor-keeps-moving-to-the-bottom-of-the-composer/360308)

When using Shared Edits, every 10 seconds or so my cursor moves to the bottom of the composer box. This is only an issue when typing further up the post - i.e. editing the earlier content.

Context I’m not sure whether it’s Discourse Shared Edits or the wiki-posts feature, since both were enabled on this particular post to avoid one editor making others’ changes obsolete.

We did some further testings on odd behaviours of the - otherwise great - shared edit mode. Here are some findings: Note that the plugin does not enable edit access per se.

The shared edits history view - at least, if wiki mode is enabled - shows all edits, but only the last one is attributed to the owner. All prior steps just show “system” as owner.
