Description
- someone writes a workflow action that modifies a user-modifiable ticket field
- user selects that action, and previews the change
- user selects a different action
- user previews or submits changes
The changes made by the workflow action will still be present; they will not be reverted.
Internally, the code does not differentiate between user changes and workflow changes across a preview.
The correct behavior here, particularly in cases where the user modifies the same fields as the workflow, is open for debate.

Actually the problem Eli described here is a known short-coming of the current TracWorkflow design. It was already discussed at length in some other tickets and this ticket is a summary of the problem. Definitely something we should address "one day".
