Rename/move job sometimes crashes and blocks other jobs - probably JRE encoding problem

Yes… so here’s what I believe it happens:

  • you rename using the “Create an automatic redirect” option checked (the default). As a result the original page is not completely removed. It is actually replaced with a hidden “placeholder” page that performs the automatic redirect to the new page. And in case you’re wondering Loading...
  • when you try to rename back the rename job detects that the page exists (although it’s just a redirect placeholder) and asks whether you want to overwrite it or not. The job then waits for the answer.
