I’ve lost a few drafts using the iOS app since the interface update. This happens sometimes when I’m scrolling up and down among previous posts as I type, and accidentally trigger a gesture to swipe the whole forum down, returning me to the forum selection screen. When I open the forum again, no dra…

Yeah did you try re-entering the topic? Unlikely it was actually lost. Try testing the scenario.

Yeah, I’ve been able to repel a few times. But it might be that I’m losing drafts that don’t reach the save timeout.

Drafts have to be over the minimum post character length to save (20 chars) and the automatic draft saves happen about every 60-90 seconds as I recall, I would need to check the code.

Roger that, but even if draft saving is fine, it’s annoying to be closing forums and losing my place all the time. I do a lot of referring to prior posts when I write for Discourse. It happened again responding here.

We need specific repro steps. Or maybe don’t use the app, try without the app for a bit and see if things improve? I find the app just adds complexity, personally?

The app does have a “swipe down to dismiss current screen” gesture. And I confirm, scrolling vigorously up and down does trigger the issue. Especially if scrolling from the top third of the screen downwards. I will look into possible ways to address this. The gesture can be disabled, but it is usef…

Not following though, does it nuke a saved draft or simply dismiss the page?

can you repro consistently? If you re enter the topic draft should reopen (also see drafts section in your user profile )
