test case:

1. almost clean install of 5.1 (very few contributed modules with no problems so far)
2. create new page (or any other node type)
3. input something for "Log message"
4. save
5. look in the database "node_revisions", "log" has what was put in step 3
6. edit that node, "Log message" is empty

I'm experiencing this same problem in 4.7 all of a sudden. I'm guessing it has to do with a module I've installed. I'll report back if I find anything.

Cheers,

The log message is only displayed on node/#/revisions.

you are right but I don't see a reason why Log messages should not be displayed on the "Log Message Box"

I am changing it back to "active", I think "by design" would be a reason to close a bug report but here there is a small bug so issue is active.

The bug is that when you put a message in the "log message" and save and then you edit that node you can't see the message so its practically lost.

hacked the code and it seems to work
added in the form['log'] array a default value 

// node.module line 2013 
    $form['log'] = array( 
....
....
      '#default_value' => $node->log,

But I don't know if this the right way to do it

Please see http://drupal.org/node/39124 for an explanation of why the message isn't shown by default.
