Anyone using the approval system?

If so, have you experienced any inconsistent behavior with it?

We've been running into some problems with a site we built for a
client in Farcry 4 and later upgraded to 5 (this has happened in
both).

Approval requests and notifications are extremely inconsistent,
sometimes arriving as much as a day late, sometimes not at all.

Our client complains of submitting items for approval and having all
the Contributor's changes vanish if the Publisher opens and edits the
document rather than simply sending it live.

Most worrying, in testing this, we can log in in multiple browsers as
different users and overwrite each other's changes on the same
document dozens of times without any indication that the document is
even supposed to be locked. This doesn't seem dependent on hierarchy -
a Contributor can overwrite a SysAdmin as easily as the opposite can
happen.

We've been able to reproduce this behavior regularly enough that we're
certain it wasn't a one-time fluke, but not reliably enough to report
it as a bug, as the same steps usually produce no problem at all.

Just wondering if anyone else has encountered anything similar and if
so, was there a fix?

Thanks!
