Entry revisions appear under wrong username

[silenz88]

EE 5.3.2 upgraded from 2.11.9.

I'm experiencing a weird issue with entry revisions. Namely that seemingly random entry revisions (of entries created after the update) show the screen name of the first super-admin (member_id 1) as author, although that account is definitvely never used to log-in and/or edit entries.

I stumbled upon this due to another issue, that seems to be related to revisions resulting in a PHP-error that happens somethimes when you save an entry:

Those entry-revisions under the false member_id actually don't contain entry-data but comment data.

Do comment data give any clue of when / how those revisions were created?

The entry dates correspond with the time of the comment postings.

How? No idea.

Can you check your exp_actions DB table and tell me what is method for action_id 1? If it's submit_entry then the revision probably corresponds to entry being created in Channel Form - however the data seem to belong to comment form... Is there a chance you have a somewhat broken template somewhere, where comment form is inside channel form, or vice versa?

[silenz88]

action_id 1 is 'insert_new_comment'

Template structure is a pretty basic single-entry blog page:

{exp:channel:entries} ... {/exp:channel:entries}
{exp:comment:entries} ... {/exp:comment:entries}
{exp:comment:form} ... {/exp:comment:form}
{exp:channel:entries} ... {/exp:channel:entries}

Nothing is nested or otherwise fancy. No channel form.

For now I deleted all revisions containing s:3:"ACT";s:1:"1"; from the database. I will check back next week whether new comments will have created new pseudo-revisions.

@silenz88 did you ever see this issue happen again?
