Why do the edit post buttons sometimes turn into vote now buttons?

[D H]

When I edit a post, the "save" button sometimes turns into "vote now". Clicking on this "vote now" button submits the changes but also gives a database error message. If I edit that same post a second time, the "go advanced" button also becomes "vote now" (I have two vote now buttons). On a third edit, the "delete" button also becomes "vote now". The problem seems to be associated with posts with erroneous LaTeX, but that might just be appearance.

Hi D H!

I've only just noticed that …

I usually open the edit page in a new tab, but just now I opened one in the same tab, and got a "vote now" button just as you did.

I tried it on another thread, and found the same. But when I pressed cancel, and then pressed edit again, everything returned to normal.

EDIT: hmm … only got boring old save this time.

EDIT: and this time.

EDIT: oooh … I give up!

How bizarre! When I click the edit button on both of your posts, I get weird options; like vote now, two buttons that say cancel etc..
