I'm not aware of other browsers having the same capabilities, which I anyway still see myself failing, not seldom. There are also many other chances to lose an edit with actions that the browser can consider intentional. In short, it's not a valid assumption that the wiki editor is using a human-like smart browser. > Another thing to consider is that, after such feature is deployed, users will > generally feel safer about starting an edit and postponing the save for hours > later, posing a higher risk of edit conflicts (especially in larger wikis as > Wikipedia). I doubt so, and anyway it's easily configurable as far as I can see. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
