Original

I was recently editing an issue's description and I accidentally navigated away, losing all the changes I had made up to that point. I did this twice, which was really frustrating.

I think we should show a confirmation dialog when navigating away if changes have been made to a text area.

Proposal

Save the description draft while navigating away. We currently have a validation that tells the user the description is out of date and we should keep this incase a user returns to the description and it has been updated by another user.
