Bug: AE edits not re-publishing

One thing I've noticed for a long time is that after you republish an arc, if you want to make more changes, you'll want to search up the arc again (click "My Creations" and then search again, just to let them all flash up on the screen). THEN go in and hit Edit.
It seems like every time I've finished an edit, republished, and then immediately gone back to edit more without hitting "search" again that it wouldn't keep my changes in there properly.
Or maybe I'm just paranoid. 
I'm out of signature space! Arcs by Tubbius of Justice are HERE: http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showthread.php?t=218177

That could also be because doing the extra search gives the server enough time to actually update the file, whereas immediately re-clicking edit (or even Play) can sometimes give you the previous version.

Tubbius specifically said "immediately" in his case, so I thought it warranted an explanation.

Just had something... odd... happen when creating arc 405524. After posting the arc and publishing it, I went back in to do some text changes. I then hit Republish and Exit and I was given the system message the arc had been updated. After verying that the system had updated the AE arc (by hitting edit again and checking the text placements...)...
I logged out, logged in another avatar, went to the AE building... and mission 405524 was reverted. The older verison without the text corrections was the published mission.
There was a new AUTOSAVE file-name.... that contained all of the changes made to the mission. As best as I could tell, there is no method to get the AUTOSAVE file to upload the changes to the already published arc. I'd either have to go in and redo every single change BY HAND... again (since copying is bugged under Cedega, which I don't think is an issue with the game client), or I could just publish the AUTOSAVE file as new.
