Whatever the case, it affects me, it affects SPJ, so we ought to fix it! (Change your browser is not a good answer :) Edward Excerpts from Eric Crockett's message of 2015-04-24 15:02:35 +0100:

On the contrary, I did precisely that just a few days ago ( https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/10338), and to my surprise, trac *did* save my new ticket text. Perhaps this is a browser-specific issue? I'm using 64-bit Chrome 42.0.2311.90.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Click "New Ticket" 2. Type some text into the box 3. Press "Back" in your browser 4. Press "Forward" in your browser

If you try this with an official Trac this doesn't happen, so either this was fixed in a new version, or we have a plugin installed which is causing this to happen.

Current version of Trac is 1.0.5, we're currently running 1.0.1

My very pessimistic rule of thumb is don't trust a form field unless the site actively saves a draft as you type. On Fri, Apr 24, 2015 at 10:13 AM, Eric Crockett wrote:

My Firefox also has this issue. So it seems the problem is the browser itself. How can this be fixed on the server side?

I don't know about an extension, but there is .js library https://github.com/simsalabim/sisyphus 2015-04-24 20:20 GMT+06:00 Edward Z. Yang :

I've tried a few Firefox browser extensions which purport to "never lose your form text", but I find they just don't save frequently enough for my taste. I would love to know an extension that does this properly!
