I’m having the problem on a fresh install as well. Major PITA.

This problem is killing me. In regards to your update - this is occurring for me on two fresh installs. No ‘database upgrades’.

I started having this problem when I saved a post with just a number in the title. In addition to this annoying question, the Visual Editor has disappeared and none of the buttons in the Code Editor show up unless I unselected the option for the Visual Editor. It almost seems like the post with only a number (935) in the title corrupted something.

And no upgrades or anything - just that post, and weird things started to happen. I’ve been posting like crazy for a couple weeks now without either of these problems until today when I posted my fateful “935″ post… It’s really bizarre…

vkaryl, in a lot of ways I’ve found the 2.3 branch to be better, though stupidities like this still irk me. That and the fact that blockquote in the simpletext editor is guaranteed to give you invalid code, yet the rich text editor is still awful and broken.

Don, I’m glad you found an alternative fix. I do wish they’d fix this though so people don’t have to jump through these stupid hoops. The software is just supposed to WORK. You, as a person who installed wordpress yourself, can choose to “do it twice” but I can’t very well tell a client that he or she has to “do it twice” for it to work.

For the record, the problem only appears to come up on blogs where the database needs updating during the upgrade.

My fix for the moment is this, click save, click yes to the question when it comes up, click back twice to get back to my post, click save again and click yes again and it posts the page/post. Don’t know why, but I have to do it twice for it to work …
