Intention: It should be possible to fill out the edit summary incrementally while editing is still taking place, not just in one hit at save time. Reproducible: Always
I believe that what SpinningSpark is actually requesting is to have the edit summary visible and editable on the main screen. Right now, you can fill out the edit summary incrementally, but you have to click on the Save button and then cancel saving each time.
Actually, I didn't realise you could do that which makes this much less of a problem that I thought it was. Still, it's a bit clunky. I can't, for instance, start writing the edit summary first (I have to edit something first to make the save button go live). There are many situations where one has "dirty" data on the clipboard carried from somewhere else and intended for the edit summary. Have to remember not to copy-paste anything else before dumping it in the edit summary field.
