Description Sam Davis

Sometimes when I click a link to a comment in the current task, it causes a message saying the task has incoming changes. This seems only to happen on tasks that are not in my task list, and only if I have typed something into the comment box. Maybe it is detecting what I've typed as an incoming change.

Can you provide a list of steps to reproduce?

# Open a task that is not in your task list (I did this by typing task3333 and clicking on it)
# Type "comment1" in the comment box and click it
# The message "Task has incoming changes" appears at the top of the task editor

Thanks! Those are great steps. I see the same problem.

This also happens when using "open corresponding task" from the history view for tasks in my task list that are already open.

The same thing happens when refreshing an open task in the task list if it has outgoing changes.
