"I thought everyone did that...?!"

When one makes small changes in visual mode one gets into the habit of not always hitting "preview" before publishing. Which is why Wikia produces little bugs to punish people for such insolence. Wikia is like a mad deity.

"I've seen this "category jump" occur a handful of times."

I get this bug roughly every 20th edit on my user page (I rarely preview it and almost never edit it in source). It doesn't do anything because I don't have categories on my page and I publish regardless of the bug, but I know it still triggers because I get to see the warning that accompanies it. Maybe the bug works differently for different pages, or doesn't like particular templates? A "category jump" on some pages is fairly harmless, but some pages really get messed up?

Another thing that may trigger the bug is how long a page is being edited. My user page gets the most bugs, and it's also the page that I like to leave in edit form without publishing. So I may play FL in the morning, start editing my CPs, keep the edit unpublished, then come back after many hours and hit "publish". When I do that the likelihood of seeing the bug is the highest.

So the question to Nedemmons is how long does it take you to make an edit? Do you leave it open for a long time or publish instantly?
