The PG editor keeps your last edited copy of a problem (in templates/tmpEdit) and will show you that the next time you edit a problem, even though it may not be the active copy. Perhaps you are seeing that instead of the "real" copy? If there is a 'revert' option available on the editor page, then that indicates that it is using a temporary copy and not the actual copy. In that case, you may need to save the edited copy permanently.
