When logged out the Ideas thread displays replies from alternate threads

[garrett-eclipse]

Hello,

I was looking at this Ideas thread;
​https://wordpress.org/ideas/topic/deselect-categories-in-bulk-edit

When I'm logged in it looks fine, but logged out there's posts shown that are completely irrelevant to this thread so it seems they're pulled from an alternate topic.

Attached screen depicts the issue and compared logged in (left) to logged out (right)

Cheers

FWIW, can't reproduce this at the moment (Opera 42, Windows 10), the thread is the same for me whether logged in or logged out.

Thanks @SergeyBiryukov
I just checked again and no longer see the issue. Could a server cache have been flushed?

[SergeyBiryukov]

Weird, now I can reproduce :) The cache definitely seems broken there.

[garrett-eclipse]

Hahaha, something weird is going on. It's broken one second then a reload shows no issue. Pretty sporadic so hard to reproduce consistently.

@xknown: Possibly related to switching to PHP7? We haven't touched the Ideas code in literal years otherwise.

It's possible, but I'm unable to reproduce this problem. @garrett-eclipse are there any particular steps I can use to try to reproduce it on my end?

No specific steps, just keep opening the page in different browsers or on different systems.

On the screenshot above, the post on the right has strings from ​Email Submit plugin's readme.txt file, there's absolutely no reason for it to show up in that Deselect Categories in Bulk Edit thread under normal circumstances.

@SergeyBiryukov I was finally able to reproduce it. I just deployed a fix on the dotorg repo -- it should be now fixed.

@xknown Looks good here, thank you!

[garrett-eclipse]

Thank you @xknown & @SergeyBiryukov everything appears to be working now. Appreciated
