Articles usually get the 5 reports and go to oblivion with the message "Could not be located" as only result (nothing else visible for me). Nice. But...
1) Projects just remain "closed due to... Reported by XXX, YYY..." but still are visible (at least for me) with the red flag available. I can hit the red flag and the reports account get +1 and my nick gets added in the message "reported by Nelek, XXX, YYY". But...
2) The reports counter is X-4 once I hit the flag, I mean... I arrive to the project "closed..." with 6 reports, I hit the flag and it gets down to 2 reports (7 total - 5 that are usually needed to nuke the spam / plagium) and the name list show only the names of the reporters after the 5th report when hitting the same cathegory as the #5 (just a guess, but I think it is plausible and possibly repeteable).
3) In the spammy projects this morning (where this weird behaviour catched my eye)... I got to the last one when it had 4 reports. I hit the red flag and it changed to "0" reports and no message (as it had been published). Then I hit the red flag again and it got closed with 1 report in the counter and the message "Closed by Nelek" (as in previous point #2)
This item is: - CodeProject[^]
I suppose that #1 and #2 are not serious issues as normal users won't probably see the closed projects as I do with the protector status.
But #3 (when I had to report it twice in a row to get it nuked), that's something I think that should be checked because I think that the project got published before getting nuked with my second flag.
M.D.V. 
If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Just so I can debug this a little
- Can you remember the approx time (and timezone) you tried posting your question?
- Had you posted many questions before this?
- Was there any issue posting? Timeouts? Errors?
This situation happened previously ("you're posting too often") and I just want to check that it's not our system counting a failed post as an actual post.
Sorry for the crappy experience. This is not our intention.
cheers

It took a reminder, but I finally squashed this bug. Thanks for the report.

That's fine. They've been made aware it's there, and they they actively chosen to ignore the hint. Their question will be answered, edited, deleted or ignored according to how the community feels about the question.

When I hover over the red flag, I get this:
No change if in portrait or landscape mode, so it; probably not a screen width thing.

The popup width wasn't changed to account for the new font size.

I published a blog [Article:5330058]. After a few hours, when I try to see it, I get an error message.
it says:

So, kindly help me out!

You posted a plagiarised article[^], which is not tolerated here. Your article was deleted, and your account will probably be closed soon.

In my article RLE: The Human Friendly Compression[^]
This afternoon, I got a vote, since all votes are 5 stars, I deduce it was an upvote.
But my reputation log says it was a downvote and removed 40 points 
Is it normal ?
Is there a sequence like clicking 1 star, then clicking 5 stars leading to a downvote in reputation and an upvote in article ?

That's an interesting one!
Hover over the dropdown on the rating control and you'll see there are 8 votes of 5. However, you have 10 votes overall. 2 votes are 2/5 and, because they fall too far outside of the voting trend, have been discounted. If a high level member votes 2, or you get another few 2's, all the 2's will kick in and you'll see a drop in the rating.
The question is: why are those missing 2 votes not being shown greyed out? I'll add this to the list.
cheers

I just published a new version of my article, and something fail to enforce the standard width.
Was OK with previous version of article.
RLE: The Human Friendly Compression[^]
Using old FireFox 56.
Looks OK with Chrome.

Looks OK in FireFox 99.
Probably an issue with the old version of FF.

Yes in very specific circumstances. I'll leave that as an exercise for the reader.

I wish I could see the original HTML. It's interesting that it's happened in both PRE blocks and straight HTML. Our HTML sanitiser is pretty good at dealing with that (it deals with it everyday).

I cut and pasted, I added HTML I thought would break it, but I couldn't (at least in our test rig) break it.
