There's some weirdness in posting in the forum that should be corrected. I just spent time writing a response to a forum post at the community site, and clicked "preview". Then a modal came up and said "This page is asking you to confirm that you want to leave - data you have entered may not be saved." There were two buttons, the highlighted one was "Leave page"; the other was "stay on page".
What does this mean? Normally "leave page" means just that, but I didn't want to leave the page if it means my post isn't saved, which the dialog warned about. So I clicked "stay on page" and watched the "save in progress" anim rotate forever, over my ghosted post which I feared would be lost. So I opened my DOM inspector and "display:none"ed all the modal layers and was able to hit the "post" button.
In a follow-up test, I clicked the "Leave the page" button and this in fact allowed me to stay on the page and see a preview of my post.
Clearly things aren't as they should be. The "stay on page" action is completely dysfunctional, and the "leave page" is, ah, misleading. Is a warning needed here at all? Why not just show the preview? If a confirmation is needed for some user-unfriendly reason, then at least the wording could be corrected.
