 When I publish a post which has previously been saved in draft format, it
 will sometimes revert back to draft without my having done anything to
 change the status myself.

 I believe this only happens with posts which originally were saved in
 draft format.  I don't think it happens with posts which are published
 directly without being saved in draft format.

 Also, I worked on the post both in my PC browser and using the WP Android
 smartphone app.  I don't know if there may be a conflict between them
 which could cause this.

 When I review the revisions I see that the published post reverts back to
 the last time it was in draft mode.  I can rectify this by reverting to
 the published version, which is how I fix it.

 I have researched this online and have found other users affected by the
 same issue on both self-hosted & WP-hosted sites going back to 2012.  The
 technical staff advice offered in the WP.com forums doesn't offer an
 explanation for the problem.

 I have searched for this bug and haven't found it mentioned, though it's
 possible the search feature didn't pick up a previous report.
