Don't refresh the page when I change browser size etc
A person can be busy writing in this idea box when they need to take screenshots etc. and when they come back, they will see all their work gone! Please don't let the page refresh when someone is typing an idea. Luckily, last time I copy pasted my few sentences into OneNote before I changed my browser size. It does say a draft is saved, but I don't know where that is.
Edit: Ah I found the drafts but I didn't want to look for it while I was typing this post... lol.

Glad the drafts saved you. Just curious is the behavior of resizing the browser in the middle of posting something you would normally do?

Yes, especially if I am taking screenshots while I am typing the post. I like switching from using half the screen to full screen with win10 windows.

Yes, and the process of just opening a new tab in that browser can trash your input as well.
In fact, I have seen times where just scrolling up in the list of posts to see the contents of a post and then trying to scroll back down to the place where you were entering text was could result in the text being trashed. Note that I've not seen this on the new community but there just has always seemed to be the situation that if you are entering text, you don't dare move or look at anything else, open a new tab, etc. or you would likely lose all the text you've entered.

@Jordi Kloosterboer is there a specific browser this is happening on. I am using firefox and been unable to duplicate the behavior you are describing.

@Mark E. Mitchell This happens with Microsoft Edge. But it also happens on Chrome. However at least with this comment, I just switched to Chrome and the first part of this message was already typed in showing that it was saved. However, now when I refreshed the page (I saved the current text), the text I wrote in Chrome disappeared since it didn't save the draft.
So basically, the page keeps refreshing, but if you are lucky, your draft will have been saved. It seems like drafts only saves every few minutes.
