I'm not convinced that's a net benefit. Obviously, its causing a lot of double posts and user frustration.re-open the thread and go down to the reply box. It will say "recover auto-saved content" in the bottom left corner.
Also I have several times recently started a reply, then lost what I wrote when I somehow let Autosave over-write it. I wouldn't have abandoned that earlier draft, that I had already forgotten, if I thought it was worth posting! The subsequent, better version being drafted got eliminated by a feature I don't even want.
Are you one of the system programmers? Can you just turn the darn thing off?

Added: ... And here I am waiting for this window to return, while in a new tab I can see it already posted.
...The original window eventually returned '500 Internal Server Error'. So I had to make this edit in a different window that correctly shows the thread.
Is all this nuisance worth it, for a feature few people will ever need?
