Edited Message Disappears When Focus Lost

Description:
When editing a message, if I switch to another browser tab and return, the edits are lost as if I never clicked the “Edit” button. This issue occurs in Chrome; unsure if it happens in Firefox.

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Click the “Edit” button on any message.

  2. Start editing the message.

  3. Switch to another browser tab.

  4. Return to the original tab.

Expected Behavior:
Edits should remain intact when switching back to the original tab.

Actual Behavior:
The edit mode exits, and any unsaved changes are lost.

Environment:

  • Browser: Chrome 132.0.6834.110 (Official Build) (64-bit)

    This behaviour is easy to forget about, but it’s all the time a constant bother. Fixing it would be a great quality-of-life improvement

    Not only switching tabs, but clicking outside the edit box also clears the edited text.

    This is frustrating when clicked accidentally.

    Yes, I’ve been editing for like 20 minutes and it's all gone when I’m switching tab. Need a quick fix on this. +1

    +1 on this. This is something that really keeps me from being able to use T3 chat as my main AI Chat. A lot of times I start typing a prompt and then need to go to another tab or something to grab a piece of code to paste it in the prompt. Currently this workflow doesn't work.

    A message from other app popped up to me and I’ve lost the text I was writing
    Upvoting this as an essential

  • White Cucumber

    It’s so annoying. Pressing Edit, then Win+V to choose a different clipboard item makes the edit box close

  • Tomato Astrometry

    Annoying!

  • Purple Coast

    It also happens when we put something on the chat, go to settings, and chat is gone..

  • Aquamarine Teacup

    Thanks for fixing this!

    Can confirm for other browsers, this also happens on Firefox (Zen), but not Safari
