All available puzzle answers sometimes flash when loading a puzzle page #63

Occasionally, when loading a puzzle page (puzzle.php), the list of all available puzzle answers flashes briefly on the screen before being replaced by the puzzle content when the Javascript code runs. This can result in a lot of people being accidentally spoiled on various answers.

Can someone who doesn't have bits to change puzzle answers verify whether this happens to them?

I haven't seen this behavior with answers, but I have seen this before for people's accounts (for things like adding/removing editors). I suspect it only happens for people with bits to change puzzle answers, although it's unfortunate either way. (And the listing of all accounts flashing briefly is also unfortunate.)

As someone without answer bits, this does not happen. Looking through the puzzle.php html source I see a lot of checkboxes for author, spoiled, and factcheck, but the answers are not in here. So unless they're AJAX'ed in, I don't think it happens.
