Description WhatamIdoing 2013-11-28 02:02:11 UTC 
Intention:
When you open VisualEditor for the first time, you get a message that says you can switch to wikitext, but that unsaved changes will be lost:

"You can keep using the wikitext editor by clicking the "Edit source" tab instead – unsaved changes will be lost."

This is not always true, since (currently for non-Firefox users) it is possible to switch to wikitext using the new menu item without losing any changes.




Reproducible: Always

Any message of the interface can be changed locally in the MediaWiki namespace, so anybody can fix that. But the message only refers to the Edit source main tab, so it is always true that if you click that your changes will be lost.
Comment 2 Elitre 2014-01-07 09:06:08 UTC 
(BTW the switch option is now working with any browser AFAIK, or at least it is with FF.)
Comment 3 Elitre 2014-03-04 12:27:13 UTC 
(Actually, it's still broken for IPs.)
Comment 4 Elitre 2014-05-07 11:34:28 UTC 
The switch option appears to be currently working for IPs as well.
