That’s a bit of a reach isn’t it? Banks want consumers to take their cards back because it means less burden on both sides.
If I’m editing this topic and hit reply the edit isn’t lost (I wrote this while the topic edit was open).
This request would only make sense to me if one action eradicated the other. As Discourse doesn’t trigger a reload when editing a topic there’s really no risk to the user here.
Locking buttons will create more confusion if anything. What if I’m currently drafting a response and notice something in the topic needs correcting. Should those controls be locked out without explanation too? That’s far from user friendly and a pattern which was only necessary on much older discussion platforms due to limitations created by the software they were created with.
