Poll dissappeared after editing topic post

I started a new topic with a poll and noticed I needed to edit the topic post. After I edited the post the poll was gone. I ended up deleting the post and starting a new one.

[EDIT]
I should note that the poll had at least 1 vote when I edited the post. I read the FAQ and I didnt see anything pertaining to editing posts with polls, just editing/deleting polls themselves.
[/EDIT]

Is this supposed to happen?

Can you reproduce the problem? I've not had that happen when I've edited poll posts.

I just re-performed the exact actions and still had the problem.

Could it be that you are trying it with administrative permissions?

If you want to AIM me (SN in profile) I will go through the steps telling you what I'm doing and you can watch the results in the forum.

I looked around the phpBB bug tracker and the closest thing I could find was this:

http://phpbb.com/bugs/bug.php?op=show&bugid=1309

Its tough to tell how releated this problem is since the reporter doesnt do the best job of describeing the problem, but it does speak of disappearing poll questions.

I confirm that few weeks ago I had the same problem on Gentoo Forums. When I edited already published poll, its questions has disappered, converting the poll to regular post.

I just went through and resurrected all orphaned polls I could find. If you edit a post that had a poll attached to it, please don't create another poll. It makes it harder to fix things later. Instead send a PM to an admin containing a link to the topic.
