Can we fix our Trac that doesn't lose new ticket text
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 Thanks, Edward ___ ghc-devs mailing list ghc-devs@haskell.org http://mail.haskell.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/ghc-devs

My Firefox also has this issue. So it seems the problem is the browser itself. How can this be fixed on the server side? On Fri, Apr 24, 2015 at 10:07 AM, Edward Z.

My very pessimistic rule of thumb is don't trust a form field unless the site actively saves a draft as you type.

Re: Can we fix our Trac that doesn't lose new ticket text
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!

Re: Can we fix our Trac that doesn't lose new ticket text
At a guess, I recently had some websites start refreshing more than I thought they used to when using the back/forward buttons. From what I gather, this is due to the websites specifying no-cache or something similar in their HTTP (?) headers. I think reloading the page throws away entered text, while going back/forward to a stored page does not. Perhaps something the ghc trac is using is setting this? Or it could be something outside trac entirely? Also wouldn't surprise me if Chrome behaves differently with such a setting than Firefox. Not sure if that helps.

Re: Can we fix our Trac that doesn't lose new ticket text
Not related to issue, but generally for Firefox I suggest an addon Form History Control (UI is not superb, but it does what it should do) https://addons.mozilla.org/uk/firefox/addon/form-history-control/ For Chrome, Lazarus Form Recovery used to work, but I'm not sure it still does, since it seemed abandoned.
