Hi there, hope everyone is having a great day 😀

I noticed some interesting differences in behavior between navigating around Discourse with a topic draft editor expanded vs minimized.

If the topic editor is minimized, any time you navigate from a topic to a category, you get prompted with the “abandon post” dialog. If the editor is fully expanded and you navigate in the same manner, the dialog does not appear.

Is this behavior intentional or a bug? The main reason I could see this as intentional is to remind you that you have a draft it progress, but it seems odd to bring up the “abandon post” dialog simply upon navigation. It feels like that dialog should be reserved for when you click “New Topic.” If the main idea was to remind the user, it seems more appropriate to either automatically expand a minimized draft or display some type of reminder dialog.

Let me know what you think or if I need to be any clearer in what I’m trying to explain!
