Steps to reproduce: 1. Log into http://en.m.wikipedia.beta.wmflabs.org/ and switch to Beta mode 2. Go to http://en.m.wikipedia.beta.wmflabs.org/wiki/This_page_has_issues and click the edit button 3. Make an edit and click continue 4. From the preview screen, click on "This page has some issues" 5. Click through the alerts 6. Close the issues overlay by clicking the close button Expected result: You're back at the preview screen with your previous edit intact Actual result: You're back at the preview screen and your edit has been lost due to an API reload. The problem does not appear to happen in stable.

What's actually going on is a bit different than what I thought. When you close the Issues overlay, it's not actually losing your edit, it's just spawning a new EditorOverlay over the previous one, so you just can't see your old edit or get to the correct save button since they are hidden underneath.
This also explains why the number of issues increases each time you open the Issues overlay.

After applying this patch I still see the confirmation "Do you really want to abandon your edit?" when clicking in preview this page has issues. If I exit and close again, and now leave the editor I see a confirmation message for every time I closed the edit "Do you really want to abandon your edit?" Not closing this bug until we fix the misleading abandon issue problem.
Actually I'll open a new bug so it is not confusing...
