I've started using the drop-down boxes which contain default edit summaries. However, I don't believe the behavior of the drop-downs is intuitive. When selecting one of the summaries from the drop-down, this should REPLACE what is currently in the edit summary field, not APPEND to it.
Hi Scott, thanks for taking the time to report this! Could you provide steps to reproduce and see the problem please?
I don't see a drop-down edit summary system... What are you talking about?
After some looking around, I now realize that this is not default behavior and at some point I turned it on under Preferences / Gadgets / Editing / 'Add two new dropdown boxes below the edit summary box with some useful default summaries' So, as it is a 'gadget', this is probably not even appropriate to post here. Sorry!

But I wouldn't say you were wrong to file a bug here.
