Edited someone else's turn order, glitch

I'm not sure if this happened when GM hit the next button or when I was trying to change mine, but somehow I edited another players init to match mine (was using to track spell recharging). I was having issues pressing enter and having it go through, so I had copied and just set it to 22, then pasted it back in and hit enter. I didn't notice exactly when it happened, but was very bizarre, not been duplicated yet.

So if I understand correctly, the glitch is that you managed to edit another player's initiative? Please confirm that you cannot normally edit it.  In any case, let us know if it occurs again and if possible, the steps to repeat it. - Gauss
Yes, confirmed. I'm not sure exactly what happened but the player didn't do it and the GM would have had no reason to do that.
Definitely happening again, I'm editing mine, Gm advances turn order, when I press enter their init becomes my init XD *edit* didn't even advance that time between and still siting player two spots above me

Ok, I confirmed this that it can occur (it took me many times to try to replicate and I only got it to happen once). It has to be utterly perfect on the timing though. Filing a bug report. - Gauss
There's another one 8 slots up on init order XD

Somehow you are managing to hit it a lot. Perhaps you are lagged somehow and that is allowing this to happen. :) - Gauss
I just gave up after that, after it happened once started happening A LOT, was having trouble editing mine at all. Four times in half a dozen rounds (if that long) I think...plus it just kept editing the same other people's.
It happens a lot with my players too. We add the result of a fudge dice roll to each character's strike rank each turn and if I am too quick reordering the sequence the wrong character gets his SR changed. I now ask whether everybody is finished before I adjust the order.  This may not be a problem for all users if the same 'initiative' applies each turn but there may be quite a lot of games where turn order gets updated each turn. I know a lot of board games where the 'first player' rotates each turn. If it isn't something that the DEVs want to change in the Tabletop I would happily 'adapt' any API code that updates the turn tracker by Character for our use. My javascript isn't yet up to writing this from scratch myself.
