Deletion tags are disappearing while people transcribe #198

@rogerhutchings and @simoneduca I noticed this while I was playing with Shakespeare's World the other day. The deletion (in that case strikethrough) was not showing for some things, but was working on others. When I mentioned it to Simone he looked at in on his computer and it was working. this is definitely a bug. How can we find out how/if this is affecting transcriptions that are submitted in AnnoTate?

See the conversation on Talk here: https://www.zooniverse.org/projects/drrogg/annotate/talk/95/9923/. Here's an excerpt:

My tags seem to be going missing! I'm having a problem tagging this page - not sure if it's a "bug" (although not noticed it before) or something peculiar with this page, or just me (using Windows 7 and latest Chrome browser) There are a lot of deletions on this page - some whole lines are deleted - and when I go back and "edit" the [deletion] [/deletion] tags have disappeared! I add them back, then when I go back to check they've gone again. It seems worse where whole lines are marked as deleted, and in some cases there are nested deletes because he's deleted words when writing the line originally then decided to delete the whole line afterwards! Anyone else noticed this strange behaviour?

Jules responded that she has seen it to. This dates back to 2 October. Did we have any merges at that point that might have changed this?

There aren't any obvious commits that would have caused that, and I can't replicate it either, in Chrome / Firefox / Safari. I'll have to try downloading the Windows VMs and seeing if I can there
