Launch Composer from Topic Reply at foot of Topic: Draft missing on re-initiate

Bug
1

This might be a bug, but I’m not sure why this doesn’t work:

Steps to Reproduce.

  • venture into a Topic :ninja:
  • go to bottom of Topic and hit Reply
  • start drafting your Topic in the Composer :scroll:
  • hit the down arrows to minimise the Composer
  • Close the Composer :cross_mark:
  • when prompted, save your Draft
  • Hit the Reply button again

Expected result:

  • Draft is there

Actual result:

  • Draft is nowhere to be seen! :open_mouth:

HOWEVER

  • The draft exists in my list of drafts
  • If I refresh the Topic, the Composer will auto-open and the draft will pop up. :sparkles:

This looks like a missed opportunity - or is it deliberate?

I’ve always thought delibrate. However i notice after trying to write a new draft where the old draft was, you get a stay/reload prompt.

@davidb can you take a peek at this one?

It sounds similar to what you’re working on here, but I’m not sure it’s the exact same issue:

I did a quick test myself, and it does look like the PR fixes this.

Thanks for reporting and the repro, the PR @mcwumbly shared above will fix this. If there are no issues it should get merged this week.

This was merged yesterday, I tested a draft on this topic and it appears to be working correctly.
