What version are you running?
1.6.4.1

What's the URL of the page containing the problem?
.../reviewboard/r/1234/

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Somebody creates a review and opens an issue
2. The submitter resolves the issue ("fixed" or "drop") and does not add a comment to the issue.

What is the expected output? 
After clicking "fixed" or "drop" the submitter should see a green box with the messages "This reply is a draft", "Be sure to publish when finished." and the buttons "Publish" and "Discard".

What do you see instead?
No green box, no buttons -> therefore the submitter cannot publish his change. He does not even know that he needs to publish his change.

What operating system are you using? What browser?
Windows, Firefox 16.0.2

Please provide any additional information below.
The weird thing is that if somebody else adds a comment later to that issue, then the status of the issue suddenly changes to whatever the submitter has clicked earlier. It seems that some kind of publishing has happened, but is not visible until a comment is added.

The issue state isn't tied to a draft, so there's nothing to publish (it's shown as "Fixed" as soon as you click the button).

Thanks for your reply.
If this is the wanted behaviour, then let me put it that way:

What is the expected output? 
After clicking "fixed" or "drop" every user (especially the reviewer) should see the issue as resolved.

What do you see instead?
The issue is still open for other users (red icon).
Note that if somebody adds a comment to the issue then she suddenly sees the updated status of the issue.

Yeah, that's a known caching bug (issue 2543).
