so this is a new and strange livejournal thing

Intersting thing.

The other day I went in to edit an flocked entry; I was told a few minutes later it was now public. What, I said. Because I hadn't changed the lock, only edited something. Hmm, I said, adn went to check.

Apparently, at least for me, when I open a locked post to edit, it defaults back to no-lock unless I change it again.

Anyone else notice this? Has it always been that way? I never had that happen before; I now feel vaguely like I need to go back and check all my entries for the ones I thought I flocked and then edited later.

ETA: Okay, let me be the first to say, God, I can be extremely dense. amireal states the problem was in the firefox extension LJ Hook. Fixed. *facepalm*

I've had that happen during the posting process that the interface didn't remember the security setting sometimes, like, I'd write some entry, set it f-locked, then hit spell-check, and promptly on the next screen it's not just spellchecked but defaulted to public again. Since then I always double-check (not least since I've set my LJ to be indexed so there's no way any public entry won't remain public for eternity in some google cache and google's bot sometimes is really reallyy fast with its indexing of blogs...)
