Allow navigating back to edit state from Preview in new talk page topic
Closed, ResolvedPublicBUG REPORT

Description

Steps to recreate:

  1. Navigate to an existing talk page
  2. Create a new topic
  3. Tap Next to view the message preview
  4. Tap back

Expected Result:

  • The talk page message editing state appears, with what I had already typed
  • If I navigated back again the edit state, I would see the confirmation if I'm sure I want to exit and lose my draft.

Actual Result:

  • Dialog box asks you "Are you sure you want to exit?" The subject and content will not be saved
  • Choosing Yes brings me back to the talk page and I am not able to edit my message

Event Timeline

This has also added the dialog box (Are you sure you want to exit) when a user navigates back after starting a reply to a comment.
It looks like the reply is automatically saved after navigating away to another page and returning to the talk page, but lost if you close the app completely. Although it's a slightly different behavior than creating a new topic, I think it's ok to be on the safe side and have the dialog box for both.
