When I encounter this on the Discourse app, I used to quit and relaunch the app, but as of today I’ve realised it’s enough to close (swipe down from top notch) and reopen the forum where the post is being edited, and your draft will then pop back up and you can submit.

I guess that’s effectively reloading the page?
