Priority: Low

Platform: Discourse mobile iOS (not tested on other platforms). Reproduced in Discourse meta and [try.Discourse.org](http://try.Discourse.org)

Description: Save a draft New Topic when prompted. Open Draft button doesn’t work.

Reproducible steps:

1. Go to Discourse home page.
2. Click + New Topic
3. Type in subject line ‘Testing Drafts’. Type in composer body ‘Testing’. Leave as uncategorised.
4. Click Cancel (bin icon on Discourse mobile). You are asked if you want to Save a draft for later - click that option.
5. The + New Topic button changes to + Open Draft.
6. Click + Open Draft. Nothing happens.
7. Check Drafts folder - no draft is saved.

Consequence: This left me temporarily unable to create a new Topic.

Workaround: Clicking the inactive + Open Draft button a number of times eventually crashes Discourse site in mobile app and returns to domain selection. Return to Discourse - the + Open Draft has cleared and is back to + New Topic.
