| The functional test org.xwiki.blocknote.test.ui.AllIT$NestedAutoSaveIT#autoSavesOnlyOnceWhenTwoClientsEdit fails intermittently on the CI, on both master and stable-18.8.x. The test opens the same page in two tabs, each with its own auto-saver, and asserts that only the client that wins the save election writes a version. The failure is the second half of that check:
It is not random: it only happens on MySQL Over the last 28 days, Develocity records 4 failures in 42 executions (9.5%), and the failure group happens only with database = mysql latest (17% of runs, p=0.0003):
- master / chrome / mysql latest / tomcat 11-jdk25 — 2/4 (50.0%)
- stable-18.8.x / chrome / mysql latest / tomcat 11-jdk25 — 2/3 (66.7%)
The other 8 configurations it runs in have never failed. A save election whose outcome depends on how long the save itself takes is the shape that turns on with a slower database, so the suspicion is the width of the election window rather than the editor.

Affected tests
- org.xwiki.blocknote.test.ui.AllIT$NestedAutoSaveIT#autoSavesOnlyOnceWhenTwoClientsEdit
Affected branches: master, stable-18.8.x. Verifying a fix At the 57% failure rate seen in the affected configurations, about 4 consecutive clean runs there are enough to conclude the failure stopped — but they must be on chrome / mysql latest / tomcat 11-jdk25, not on the default configuration, where this test has never failed.
