           Summary: bugzilla: mid-air collision message is misleading
           Product: gcc
           Version: unknown
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: web
        AssignedTo: unassigned@gcc.gnu.org
        ReportedBy: amylaar@gcc.gnu.org


For PR46358, I added the keyword patch, the patch URL, and a comment, and
then proceded to add en attachment.
Instead of handling the attachement addition as part of the transaction, it
was done separately.  I then went back to the page where I added keyword, URL
and comment, to commit these changes.
I then got a mid-air collision warning, but it said that the other changes
were:
no changes have been made.
I thought that this was a weird way to refer to my adding of the attachment,
and as re-doing that is less work then the keyword/URL/comment, I went
ahead with the change submission.
It turned out later that the attachment was still fine, but I had overridden
the changes that Richard Guenther had made earlier.

You should never go back after submitting changes to a form. Overriding someone
else's changes is expected in that case, especially because you ignored the
midair collision message and submitted your own changes anyway.

Wontfix as this is an edge-case which I don't plan to fix.
