After I make an edit to my identification comment I'm asked if I want to leave page or I might lose edits

Please fill out the following sections to the best of your ability, it will help us investigate bugs if we have this information at the outset. Screenshots are especially helpful, so please provide those if you can.

Description of problem (please provide a set of steps we can use to replicate the issue, and make as many as you need.):

Step 1: I make an edit in the comments I made on an identification, and I save those edits.

Step 2: I close the page, but am asked if I want to leave the page, or the information I entered might not be saved (but I had already saved it).

Step 3: I see no option to do anything different when I ask to stay on the page, so I then ask to leave the page, I then find all of the edits I had entered had been saved. It is now doing this every time I make edits to a comment I made on an identification even though I had saved the edits.

I just had a similar experience, so it’s not just you…

It is nice to know I’m not the only one.

Also happening to me in Chrome, if that’s useful.

Should be fixed now, it’s looking good to me.

Thanks! I tried an edit after an initial ID, and didn’t get the message this time!
