When posting I sometimes get "Draft is being edited in another window"

I’ve experienced this on other forums as well, but just mentioning it here in case you’re not aware and want to look into it - when typing a post I often get:

That means exactly what it says. You’ve got another tab or window open to the forum with a comment open (maybe a different topic).

I find it a little annoying, but I’m not gonna start working on Discourse. However it works is the way it works, and we just deal with it.

I don’t have any other tabs open…

But I agree it’s not worth spending time on (other than maybe reporting to discourse)

Hmm…I’ve never seen it when I didn’t have more tabs open.

Might be a browser-specific issue, something with caching or sessions or whatever.

I’ve seen this before, but it’s been awhile. Discourse seems to cache something and won’t ‘remember to forget it’. Sometimes it is this error, more often lately it’s been not remembering which threads I’ve read or putting me back at the beginning of a long thread instead of back to the last read post.

Maybe you’ve copied a clip to quote and it won’t let go. :wink:

I’m pretty sure this is a Discourse issue. I see it more on another forum I’m on more than here.
