Draft is no longer automatically saved after you click 'keep editing'

Bug
1

Today I lost a huge part of my draft because somehow autosave doesn’t seem to work after you click close and then keep editing.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Create a draft. It can be a reply, new topic, or personal message. I would choose the former because then you don’t need to add a title.
  2. Write some text.
  3. (Accidentally) click close and then choose keep editing.
  4. Write some more text.
  5. Copy the text you have written or memorize your input.
  6. Reload the page.
  7. Open your draft.
  8. Everything written after clicking keep editing is missing.


The video is in double speed so that it is not so long despite the waiting time after entering the text to ensure that autosave had a chance to save the input. You can see that pasting some text and reloading works fine. Then, after clicking close and keep editing, the input is not saved and disappears during the reload. But pasting the same text without using keep editing works fine in the end.

Thanks, I put a pri-medium on this, someone will have a look over the next 4 weeks and get this sorted.

Agree this is far from ideal
