Caching happening in the admin interface

[turnip@…]

With caching turned on, if I do something like activate a plugin, it doesn't appear activated or -- in fact -- get activated at all because of caching. I turn the caching off in wp-settings.php and all is fine and dandy. A similar scenario with changing options.

There are three possible situations here:

1. I'm affected by some obscure bug
2. I'm doing something wrong/stupid or otherwise have made an obvious mistake
3. This really is a bug that affects everyone (who hasn't change the default setting of caching being on)

I've marked this major because I'm worried it's the third.

It's not, it doesn't happen for me. Could you provide details on your system set up (you could use the dump-env plugin, ​http://dev.wp-plugins.org/file/dump_env/trunk/dump_env.php). Do you have write access to wp-content? Who does your server run as? What are the permissions on wp-content and below?

I was having this happen with WP 2.0 and plugin activation as well. It hasn't happened since 2.0.1

Please reopen if it still happens in 2.0.1 or if you have new information.
