[Feedback] Brittle posting editor window, bleh.

#1 Post by dick_freebird »

Kind of sucky that the post editing window discards
everything you typed, if you get redirected (like to
the login-you-must that appears when you hit "post".

You know, like when you want what you typed to
get posted, instead of a blank new window.

This is abnormally brittle behavior. Don't see this
on any of the many web sites I inhabit. Popup,
fill form, right back where you were. That's normal.
This is stupid fussy.

Option 1: Assume the worst and clipboard copy your post before you click post, and paste it into the empty window.
Option 2: when you click post and it wipes out to a blank window after you log in go back in the browser history to your message, and hit F5 and you may find the original post window is now logged in.
