Unsubmitted comments lost after attaching files

[andrew.c.martin@…]

While modifying assigned tickets of mine, I've noticed that if I add comments and then go to attach a file, when I selected the "Back to Ticket#" button at the top of the page, the attachment is saved but my un-submitted comments are erased. Trac should save all modifications in memory until the changes are submitted.

It would be difficult for Trac to save anything not yet submitted… but I think there was already a suggestion that we could use Javascript for this (maybe simply by disabling the Attach file button if there's a pending comment).

Yes, it's tedious to remember that you don't submit changes before press Attach file

PatchWelcome for suggestion in comment:1.

Thanks for reporting

Christian: Saving something not yet submitted has nothing difficult; you just save locally or submit to the server.

Raising severity as comments can require huge effort, and the expectations from web pages users had in 2010 are far from today's. Most would probably consider this as a bug.
