[LON-CAPA-users] edit XML problem, port security?

That is somewhat oddd. there is litte different between EdiXML and
Edit mode, both communicate whte the server in a very similar fashion.

I'm guessing the edits made in the EditXML mode disappear?

Does it occur for both "Submit Changes and View" and "Submit
Changes"? 

Hmmm... does it occur for both short and long problems?
