Thanks,
we can tell from the curl that you should have the value "Some text" in the textarea. It's not a cache issue because the problem is across multiple browsers and the curl looks ok. We will need to try a different approach but I'm not sure which.

I am trying to update a field named "description" with the text "Some text". There are no errors in the firebug console.

ok, I still can't get the same result. Could you do me a favour and enable firebug? I would like to know if there any errors in the console in the process (you would need to go to the console tab and click "persist").
If there's nothing there, would it be possible to have the request that is sent? (firebug can provide that too: "net" tab, click "persist", submit the artifact, right-click on row that corresponds to request and "export as curl")

Many thanks

The randomness was only there in the beginning but now I can reproduce the issue all the time.

<p>
Yes, anything that is merged in master is included in the latest dev build of Tuleap. Maybe this is a permission related error- although this wouldn&#39;t explain the apparent randomness of it.</p>

We are using PHP5.3. I am using Chrome 31.0.1650.63 and I can also reproduce the issue with Firefox 26 and with Internet Explorer 11.

In the related issue "https://tuleap.net/plugins/tracker/?aid=5700&group_id=101", I can see that the fix should only be available in Tuleap 5.8 does Tuleap 6.7.99.41 already included the fix?

I have also tried to reproduce this issue without any success. In addition to your browser could you also say if you are having problems with php51 or php53 build (although I'm guessing the latter)?

Which browser are you using?

This problem occurs with a text field in text and in html. There was a workflow, but I also tried after having deactivated it and I tried after having removed it also.

Since the content of "Original submission" in this artifact has not disappear, the issue does not occur on Tuleap.net even if we have the same version of Tuleap (6.7.99.41).
