history isn't saved in new ajax ticket comment system

[anatoly <techtonik@…>]

when you enter ticket comment in new ajax way with immediate preview, and then if submission is rejected (akismet) your post is lost.

Not sure this is related to the automatic preview. If your submission is rejected, you get the following error:

Submission rejected as potential spam (Akismet says content is spam)

If I use the "Back" button of the browser, the <textarea> still has my comment. Could this be browser-specific? I'm using Firefox 3.0.16.

I was using Chrome. Can't repeat without some foul data for Akismet. Pastebin?

Not related to automatic preview. It's the more general problem that we go to a Trac error page, without giving a chance to recover the content. Sometimes it's enough to use the "Back" button, sometimes it doesn't work… Maybe we should just present a warning, like for a validation error.

(didn't mean to close that one actually, but to propose the above idea for discussion)

Maybe display content from user entry on the Trac error page to give them ability to copy?

Actually I don't understand this. What's different between the new Ajax way and the old one. When you get the SPAM-page after entering the code the old page as well as all parameters sent are recovered. This can only fail when the page handler fails or when no data was send to the server. But I assume the SPAM page only comes after you press send, so there should be no difference between Ajax and old way, or do I misunderstand something? If have currently no 0.12 server, where I can test this.
