facing the same issue here in **meta** :

- I opened a composer, and write the title.
- to take an screenshot for [this bug](https://meta.discourse.org/t/cant-go-back-from-creating-a-new-message-to-create-a-new-topic-in-editor/153453/2), I changed it from a “new topic” to “a new message”.
- I cancel the topic (i.e. the message) as I couldn’t change it back into a topic,
- I started a new topic.

a warning was shown incorrectly (since **I already canceled the message** ):

now even when I chose to “ **abandon it** ”, every 10-20 seconds I got this message:

while there is **no other tab**.

this only happens if I change from a topic to a message. it seems the cancellation of a massage doesn’t really cancel it.
