Suggested edit did not show in review queue

Question

Today I checked the review page and noticed there are no items. Cool.

Then I browsed a question, just to see this:

Puzzled, I checked the review again, went to https://parenting.stackexchange.com/review/suggested-edits and got the familiar "There are no items for you to review" message.

I clicked the "edit" in the question itself, and got the proper dialog:

Approved the edit and now it's all good and recorded as a review, but it did not show in the suggested edits queue, so I wonder how many other edits we miss here?

I have full edit privilege here, and was able to see suggested edits in the queue before.

It sounds like maybe you're running into a new feature just added to the edit review queues:

As of late last week, we're now giving suggested-edit reviewers a limited period of exclusivity. What this means:

• When you view a pending suggested edit, the system will avoid assigning that edit to any other reviewers until you've submitted your review or a reasonable period of time (currently 3 minutes) has passed. The number of "in review" tasks is tracked, and the main /review page updates the counts accordingly.

• We don't actually block multiple reviewers, so if you open the suggested edit from the question page (rather than being assigned it by the system via /review) you'll be given the opportunity to review it regardless of who else currently has it open.

• If you don't explicitly take action on a review (approve / reject / improve / skip), it won't be assigned to anyone else (or appear in the counts shown under /review) until your period of exclusivity expires.

Note that while this behavior is new to suggested edits, it isn't new to review - single-review tasks (first posts / late answers) have had this behavior for a while.
