author vanishing from post after edit

  • When a user edits a post, the author vanishes.
    Nothing is output on the front end, and in the backend it is just blank.
    I can do an advanced edit and select the proper author, but it seems to lose its stick if I re-edit again.
    Using the latest 1.3a4 from cvs.
    Thanks

    just to clarify.
    I have a user at Level 2.
    He writes a new post. Everything is fine.
    He then edits that post, and the author is stripped from the post after the edit.
    Every subsequent edit the author is still gone.
    Ad admin can reset the author, but if the user edits again the author is stripped.
    I just did this about 20 times to confirm it, and it happens every single time.
    Interestingly, this DOES NOT happen for an admin user.
    My guess is that when ad admin edits advanced mode is selected and the user correctly selected in the drop down box, which gets submitted in the form. The LEvel2 user does not have this drop down box, so it looks like the correct user is not getting passed in a hidden field or whatever.

    Hm,
    I can’t duplicate this problem.
    Everything works fine here.
    There was a bug fix sometime yesterday which
    has todo with that. Maybe check wether you
    have that change in your source already.

    Adsworth,
    My CVS version did not have the code as shown in the diff, so I updated and the problem has gone away. Things happen fast around here!
    Thanks
