[Python-Dev] Posting frequent spurious changes in bugtracker

This happens to me very frequently.

I get the notification about new issues open in the bugtracker. If I
see an interesting "bug", I usually open a Firefox tab with it, to
monitor it, decide if I will work on it in the future, whatever.

When I have time to decide, I proceed. If I find the issue interesting
but don't have the time to work on it, or somebody else is taking care
of it, I just add myself to the nosy list, and close the tab.

The problem with this is that even if I reload the tab, flags are
usually stale and when I add myself to the nosy list, I revert flags
to the old value.

This happens frequently. Last time:
<http://bugs.python.org/issue16833#msg178917>

I think tracker should keep a "version" hidden field, and refuse to
act if the version on server is different that the just posted
changes. Or something.

Or am I doing something fundamentally wrong?. I reflesh 99% of the
time, but could forget sometimes, and some other times I need a
"shift+reload" to bypass browser cache.

PS: Tracker tells me about conflicts ocasionally, but most of the time
the stale flags are not noticed.
