Commit window showing topics changed by other authors

[RiverMonster]

Hi,

We have a project that is bound to Central (single bound model).

Usually when a tech writer clicks "Commit All" he/she sees a list of the files that they have modified and have not been committed yet. However, the other day one tech writer clicked "Commit All" and the list of files included not only their files but also a bunch of files that had been added or modified by another author on a different machine.

The same thing happened a few days prior to that (two different authors involved).

We are a bit confused by this behavior. Can someone please tell me under what circumstances this can occur?

Thanks

Adrian
