Text not being cleared from text boxes (minor issue)

[viiuan]

Describe the bug
Text written for a quote remolt/reply stays in the text box after posting + going to quote remolt/reply to something else

To Reproduce

1. Remolt/reply to a molt
2. Remolt/reply to another molt
   It depends on which action you try again, but the text "sticks"

Expected behavior
The textbox to be clear when starting a new quote molt or reply

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: Windows 10
• Browser: Vivaldi (Chromium)
• Version: 3.7.2218.52

It took me a while to be able to find how to reproduce this, on my end this was only reproducible when you close out the reply/molt modal without actually posting it, if you actually post (which causes the page to refresh) the content of the modal is cleared.

Which is intended behaviour, no? I've deliberately closed the modal to read the original post more before finishing my reply.

When we switch the modals to Ajax then we'll want to clear them upon submit but it will effectively work the same way as it does now.

Yeah i don't think this is a bug, rather just intended behavior

on my end this was only reproducible when you close out the reply/molt modal without actually posting it
on my end it also happened after posting when doing the same action on a new molt, which is why i brought it here, but then I wonder why that'd happen to me

Strange as I tried multiple times to reproduce it and couldn't, could be a browser specific bug

[jakeledoux]

I've gone to bed already but I just wanted to chime in to say that most of these "hard to reproduce" bugs tend to be caused by the order of ajax page loads. For instance: directly navigating to /wild-west and then ajax loading /notifications was the cause of one of the bugs I fixed earlier today.

Hope that helps you track it down.

[viiuan]

i just realized it could also be maybe like, navigating back a page using my browser buttons rather than the in-site one

[jakeledoux]

Ohh you might be right. Sometimes it uses the cached HTML which includes the modal contents (and sometimes the button will say "Submitting...")

If this is still an issue I can look into it later today.
