#6790 (Changes in Text editor get lost if the connection fails)

Summary

Start editing in the text editor. Stop the runserver process. Hit Save. The spinning wheel is there, and my changes are visible, but I have not even a way to copy/paste my changes to another place.

3 months, 4 weeks ago by Luc Saffre about #6790 (Changes in Text editor get lost if the connection fails) : Idea is to replace the loadmask by making all fields readonly, or a button to disable the loadmask "You probably shouldn't do this unless you have been instructed to do so. Are you sure?"

For a while there was the annotation "Sending" and after a timeout, my...
