Has this ever happened to you?
If that is true, then this looks like a design flaw since the title should have no implication on the submitted content. The only thing that should matter is the unique code associated with each thread, like in this instance: CHWIW.

Yep, and it's been that way for a looooong time. Not sure why this isn't being solved.

Thanks for the notice, this was resolved in an update today!
Fixed an issue that would cause a comment not to be posted if the name of the discussion, ticket, or giveaway changed while the user was writing their comment.

I've been doing the same but from time to time I forget to save it and it happens to lose all the content. If bludshade is right about the reason then this seems to be very easily fixable. Again, you shouldn't be required to take proactive actions for basic usage mechanisms.

To be fair, I've had the habit of copying stuff before submitting if it's more than a sentence long for a while now in every website I use. I believe it's because I lost a 10,000 character private message I wrote a few years ago. It's a good habit to have, regardless of a bug like this existing or not.

The behavior is simple. You write a comment and click submit, the page refreshes, the comment is not posted and there's not a single trace you ever wrote anything. I suspect the server is either busy or for whatever reason it discards the submission due to a bug or a concurrency issue. It's rather annoying, to say the least, especially when you write an elaborate answer and everything is lost upon submission, thereby having to start from scratch.
It happened lots of times and I usually CTRL+C the content before submitting anything but I'd much prefer having it fixed on the system's side than having to proactively take actions against it.
I recommend fixing this by making use of the local storage and reattempting the submission until the server responds with a success message, unless there's a bug in the system that needs fixing to stop this from happening.
