Change Details

**Steps to replicate the issue** (include links if applicable): version I * if "2017 wikitext editor" is enabled, disable it (i am not familiar with 2017, never used it. it may or may not exhibit similar issue) * open a page in source editor * add "bla" before the first line and "bla bla" after the last (or any other easy to detect change) * hit "Show Preview" * hit the "Back" button of the browser version II: * same as version I, except replacing "show preview" with "show changes" **What happens?**: the page goes back to "edit source" screen, with source of original page, and all the edit changes made prior to clicking "show preview/changes" are gone **What should have happened instead?**: a warning should have been shown. to see the correct behavior, repeat the reproduction, but this time omit the "Show preview/changes" step. **General comments** * possibly, likely even, this report is a dupe. i tried to find similar report and failed * IMO, this is a show-stopper, and should be fixed before next version is released * i do not have access to sites running older version of mw, so i cannot say if this behavior was always like this (i will be mightily surprised to hear that), and if not, when it appeared. * i had difficulties selecting "Tags". i hope "EditNotify" is the right one. please correct it if there is more suitable project. peace
