Notes should be saved temporarily upon browser BACK
Here we are typing in a long note.
Okay. Now we are finished typing. And it is time to tap the submit button.
But the submit button is covered up by the keyboard.
So we do the standard procedure to get the keyboard off of what is underneath it. We push the cell phone's BACK button.
Alas, our luck has run out. This time the back button really does send us back, not just getting the keyboard out of the way.
And our painstakingly typed in note.. well you can guess what happened to it.
A second try. And this time we cautiously scroll down the page and indeed revealed the submit button, without needing to move the keyboard out of the way. This tip for future readers.
Moral of the story: the website should ask, "Are you really sure you want to throw away your painstakingly typed note?"
Android (12 at least, standard Google keyboard) multiplexes "put the keyboard away" with "back" (if gestures not in use).
If it is a bug, surely it should be logged with Google?
The comment doesn't persist when pressing "back" is treated as a single-page navigation (implemented in router.js). Otherwise going forward restores the comment.
I was using Android 8.
I also find that sometimes one back makes the keyboard go down and a second back really makes our note draft go away. And then a forward just brings us to an empty fresh note.
So still the page has an opportunity to ask us if we really want to get rid of our note draft or not. So the page perhaps ought to be enhanced by adding this safety feature.
