I have encountered a strange bug which has only started happening today, no new modules have been installed and no changes have been made to the site.

When making ANY modifications in ANY view, I click 'update default display', 'Changed view' appears as normal at the top right, and then I click 'save' and the message 'the view has been saved' appears as normal. But the modifications have not been saved. If i edit the view again I can see that my changes have been discarded.

I have modifiied filters, changed header text, and various other things...none of these changes are being saved. I am not receiving any error messages.

My site relies heavily on views and I am completely stuck now and unable to make any changes.

Any ideas?

I am unable to create new views either!

I select view name, description, and type, click 'next' and receive the internal drupal 404 not found message.

NOTHING has been changed on my site to cause this, it has just started happening out of the blue. Views have been working perfectly for well over a year.

Please help!

I would like to help here, but i just can say here it works well :p

Perhaps you could logout, clear your browser cache, clear drupal caches etc.

It would be cool if you can look whether other drupal forms are also broken etc.
Give as much usefull informations as possible.

Is there something in either your watchdog log, apache or php error logs that might indicate something failed during the save process?

Title: Changes not being saved » Fields not visible when sharing the same colum
Version: 6.x-2.6 » 6.x-2.x-dev

I solved this by updating to the latest dev release.

However this has created a new, smaller problem which i think is a bug in the latest release...

When using a table view, and having 2 fields or more using the same column, I was previously able to use < br > as the seperator to have the 2nd field on a new line below the first, a lot of my views are set up like this. When i updated to the latest dev this is no longer possible, only the last field is visible. I thought maybe it was just that HTML wasnt accepted like this anymore, so I just used a hyphen as a seperator, but still only the last field is visible.

updated title and version on this post.
