I just spent about an hour to type a question with quotes of debug message, of code, indentations, different types of quotation marks, different font enrichments ...
I forgot to type a title, and when I validated, I had a red message inviting me to type a title.
Until there, everything is correct.
But my whole typing has disappeared. Where did it go to ?
Using the history of the browser does not seem to solve the problem.
If I seize a title with nothing under it, will it be posted with my message, or shall I obtain an other red message, telling me this time that my message is empty ?
Well, a forum named "feedback" is perhaps not read every day, so I imagine for this time I have to retype my whole message ? Maybe dinner will be ready ...
(not sure that "bug" as a tag helps a lot, I tried to also put MVC forum, but that disappeared ... any suggestion ?)
I don't know whether this will work or not. But press browser back button and see. Sometimes it works for me on those kind of occassions, not in this site, but in other sites.

This is unfortunately a known bug. We should have a fix for it on the site soon. I am terribly sorry for the inconvenience.
FWIW, whenever I spend significant time typing something on the web (this site or elsewhere), I always copy and paste it to my clipboard before attempting to post it. In a perfect world everything would work all of the time, but real world experience has
made me much more defensive.
