Description

After a page is demo-imported, the buttons at the bottom of the results page, "save" and "preview"... what do they do? For me, either button just kicks back to the first demo page. "save" does not result in anything being saved anywhere.

This bug might be more important after all. Correct me if I'm wrong, but is the demo page the only way to import just one page?

After I batch-imported a whole site (150+ pages), there were a few pages which inexplicably got missed. So, I'm trying to manually import them (using the same Import HTML filter) one-at-a-time. But I don't see a way to do this. The demo page has that "save" button... if this is the only way to import one page, then this bug affects functionality.

So I'm bumping this up from "minor" to "normal" priority.

True enough.
The demo-save was supposed to work, and DID before the Drupal 5 Form API changes. I've just not been able to find the appropriate way to work in a mutation of the node edit form that was pre-filled with all the values without strange side-effects.

Worth revisiting, as it is a really handy step (plus it "works" on remote URLs)
