Steps:

1. Start typing a reply to a topic
2. Navigate to a new topic with the composer open
3. Hit the reply button on and of the posts

What happens:

1. A dialog shows up asking if you want to abandon your post

What should happen:

1. A dialog should show up with 3 options:

- Cancel
- Abandon Draft
- Save Draft (will be visible when you navigate to topic)

This is borderline bug/feature request, but would greatly help teaching people about the draft system.

@tgxworld fixed the bug here, so closing.

We can defer a “better draft support” discussion.
