Incorrect problem text displayed when editing through the GUI

We have an odd, intermittent problem - sometimes when a professor clicks on Edit It from the Library Browser, the problem text which shows up is actually the next problem's text.

This might only happen when a file exists in the tmpEdit area of the local courses problems, but I haven't verified that. When does a file get saved to the tmpEdit directory?

At the moment, it's very easy for an instructor to attempt to fix a problem, get the wrong problem loaded into the edit box, and save it as the previous file, overwriting it. This problem is easy to verify since the Edit It editor opens in a new window, but is clearly a nuisance.

We're using WW2.4.1 , and we're developing and enhancing a course while it's being used by students, so we have local copies of the problems in the current course template directory.

Take care,
Fuzzy
