If I reopen an issue, specifically I did that with https://pagure.io/releng/fedora-scm-requests/issue/282, the status was "Closed as Invalid" at the box on the right side. When editing and saving, the status was shown as "Open as Invalid", even I explicitly set "Open" and "" (empty) before saving. After a reload (F5 in webbrowser), the status was only displayed as "Open" (correctly).
