Recent changes lost in editor after reload
For the past couple of months, when reloading a page "too soon" (20 or 30 seconds) after making changes with the editor (to the 1950 census records, for example), sometimes several changes are lost and have to be redone.

@JohnFaucett Thank you for your efforts to correct indexing errors!
This issue has been common since FamilySearch began a systemwide update in October, which is nearly complete but still causes occasional delays. When you edit the index and click Save, your changes go into a queue for processing. If system load slows things down, refreshing may stop the actions before the record is re-materialized. When that happens the old snapshot is displayed. If you wait until the Record Details link is active; once you click it and see your changes reflected, the process should be complete.

@JohnFaucett I need a little more information. When you were editing the indexed record, were you in the source linker and then tried to reload the page after editing the record, or did you open the record from the sources attached to a person, view it there, and then try to edit it? If you were in the source linker and editing the indexed record there, I think you might receive more help from the source linker team; they might be able to give you a few suggestions. https://community.familysearch.org/en/group/324-source-linker-feedback

I was in the 1950 US Census records and editing directly there. In all cases, I made changes to several individuals on the census page (like fixing the names generated by the AI program, etc.) and then hit refresh.

Thanks. I was thinking that the problem was something along those lines. Probably explains why Save sometimes hangs up for 15 seconds or so.
