Submitting changes to an issue while editing a comment causes comment edits to be lost

Added by Steve Strobel over 7 years ago

I wasn't sure if I should create an issue for this or mention it here in the forum. Anyway, I am running Redmine 3.0.4.stable. While editing an issue I often also edit one or more previous comments on the same page. Today I noticed that if I don't save the comment edits before clicking the "Submit" button for the issue that the comment edits are lost. It seems to me that there are several reasonable ways to handle this:
  • Don't allow editing a comment and the issue itself at the same time (I don't like this option, but it is one).
  • When committing the issue, also comment the changes to the comments.
  • When committing the issue, leave the comment editor open with the changes intact. This would be the nicest.
  • Don't allow committing the issue until the comments have been saved (similar to the warning about leaving a page without saving).
