What version are you running?
1.5.5

What's the URL of the page containing the problem?
Any review

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Click on a comment field like the description and enter or edit some text.
2. Do something that causes a change in the page, like changing the page you're on in the diff, or clicking on something in the little yellow toaster popup that says "there is a new review"

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I would expect that the text I entered would still be there in the "edit mode" dialog, or that the boxes where I hadn't clicked "save" would automatically save what I had entered before changing the content on the page, or that it ask "are you sure you want to do this? your unsaved comments will be lost" and give me a chance to say no.

Instead, the comment text reverts to the last "saved draft". It's pretty annoying, especially if you didn't save multiple comments, and I might have expected that if I were navigating to a different review, but not when I'm just going to a different page on the diffs in the same review.

What operating system are you using? What browser?
Ubuntu 10.10
Firefox 3.6.18

Please provide any additional information below.
Sorry if that description is a little fuzzy; let me know if you need more info.
