I understand that currently discourse can only handle one unpublished draft and that this draft is shared across devices, right? It works fine and I love it, but every now and then, when I start a new reply to a topic, the editor contains an old draft of some previous reply which I either dismissed or which I already published (possibly from another device). So it looks like drafts are also stored locally but not deleted under certain circumstances such as when the draft is published from another device.

One draft _new topic_, but one draft _reply_ for every topic.

Earlier this week, I started a reply in one topic, then navigated to another topic and posted it there. When I returned to the first topic (on a different device), my “draft” post was still there. That sounds like what Christoph is describing.

Is there a specific repro?

Not sure. I’ve only had it happen once, and attempting to reproduce it now on try, I’m not seeing it.

Penso di aver risolto questo problema di recente.
Avevamo una chiave bozza “createtopic”, una chiave bozza “reply as new topic” e una chiave bozza “new topic”.
Ciò causava ogni sorta di confusione. Ora tutto è normalizzato.

Quindi cosa abbiamo ora? Solo una normale chiave di bozza?

Abbiamo:
1. Chiave unica per “nuovi argomenti”
2. Chiave unica per “nuovo messaggio”
3. Chiave unica per “argomento” (copre: risposta come nuovo argomento, risposta come messaggio privato, modifica post, risposta all’argomento)
