Editing a WYSIWYG section in a page may leave the semaphore on the page after saving or cancelling the edit, due to a session bug exposed. This can be worked around by waiting the lock's expiration, or by editing the full page and using Cancel Edit.
The bug seems to occur only when session_storage is set to Database. File-based storage apparently does not trigger. When 2 concurrent AJAX requests are processed, changes to the session made by the first can be lost by the second request. Presumably, this is only true because the first request completes after the second one starts but before it ends.
The scenario where the WYSIWYG plugin exposes is that initiating an edit causes 3 AJAX calls to SemaphoreController:
Request 2 modifies $_SESSION to add a key storing a UNIX timestamp (on the pre-last line of action_set()). On a wiki page named "TestWYSIWYGPluginNoHTML", that key would be 'semaphore_TestWYSIWYGPluginNoHTML_ wiki_page'.
When cancelling (for instance), 2 requests are made. The problematic one is the call to unset. The call to $this->table->delete() in unset() fails because $lock is empty. $lock is empty because $_SESSION[$this->getSessionId($input)] evaluates to null.
This affects revision 65380 of trunk.
To help developers solve the bug, we kindly request that you demonstrate your bug on a show2.tiki.org instance. To start, simply select a version and click on "Create show2.tiki.org instance". Once the instance is ready (in a minute or two), as indicated in the status window below, you can then access that instance, login (the initial admin username/password is "admin") and configure the Tiki to demonstrate your bug. Priority will be given to bugs that have been demonstrated on show2.tiki.org.
