Re^2: Error in the reputation breakdown field? (conclusions)

I have seen the inconsistency as well, [...]Having read the docs tye pointed out, I concluded it is on purpose the way it is

If you mean that you think that showing "-2 (+0 -2)" and then later, due to additional votes, showing "-1 (+0 -1)" is intentional, then you would have misunderstood the documentation that I linked to (and didn't understand my earlier reply in this thread either).

I think ambrus has hit on the most likely explanation ("stale" browser cache -- a mostly good thing, IMHO, except that sometimes the viewer doesn't recognize that the displayed content is slightly "stale").

Yes, "stale" browser cache is a good explanation of the effects actually described by the OP. I still think you got me wrong - the inconsistency I was referring to is when node XP goes from "-1 (+0 -1)" to "0" then "1" and that is only inconsistent if you contrast it against plain counting of all up- and downvotes. My fault if I did not state my thoughts clear enough :) Inconsistency does not have to be a bug if it is there for a good reason and I think there are enough good reasons around.
