"m2m_changed" signals never gets fired from the admin site

[f3r-_-@…]

Well, dont know if this is a bug or if I've a concept error. But try to test it:

A simple generic test:

from django.dispatch import receiver
from django.db.models.signals import m2m_changed

@receiver(m2m_changed)
def test_handler(sender, instance, action, reverse, model, pk_set, **kwargs):
     import sys
     print>>sys.stderr, action

Add this snippet to your code and try to edit a model from the admin that contains a m2m relation. You can add or delete an object to the relationship. Then, you will see that the signal doesn't fire: S

Instead, if you do the same from a shell ... everything works fine.

Could anyone try it and confirm it is not a paranormal activity at my computer?

Thanks in advance.

I think this problem was already reported in #16073.
