I keep getting this weird bug on some pages where if I try to edit, the text will load in the text box and then disappear after a second, leaving it blank. It seems to eventually stop happening, but not within a few hours, at least. Obviously, since I don't want to get rid of all the other text on the page, and since my reflexes aren't quite fast enough to copy the text in the moment it's there [Ironically, I was just trying to add Chihayafuru examples...] this effectively means I can't edit certain pages. It happens over different computers, too.

If it's relevant, I just now got this issue with the Buxom Is Better, Bait And Switch Credits, and Love Triangle pages.

Why, Mr. Spock! You almost make me believe in miracles!

Are you getting it when you click source as well. A (non-ideal) solution, is to click "source", copy the page, and then edit and paste the material in. This may risk copying over the last edit made if the page has recently been edited, or if the page was locked (due to other people editing) when you tried to edit. I don't think it's wiki-end, since I'm editing normally. What browser and OS are you using, and have you tried different ones?
