Description

[Lloyd D Budd]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b5) Gecko/20051006 Firefox/1.4.1
Build Identifier: http://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-1.5b2&os=osx&lang=en-US

MacOS only, Firefox 1.5 beta 2 , wordpress.com web, create draft using rich text editor, TinyMCE loses draft contents
-- user data lost!
-- this is not specific to wordpress.com, also "occurs on any Drupal site that supports the TinyMCE rich text editor"

ENV: MacOS 10.3 / Firefox 1.5 beta 2
* MacOS only ( Mac ) , I am *not* able to reproduce on WinXP using FF1.5b2

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. login to wordpress blog, ex flocktest.wordpress.com
2. Write a new post.
3. Click Save.
4. Watch it save it to the drafts box, see the new titled post...
5. Click on draft post.
Actual Results:  
User data lost. The Title is displayed , but the content of the post is lost.

Expected Results:  
Expect to see the post that I wrote in step 2.

The bug is either in Firefox 1.5b2 or in TinyMCE, but because the problem only occurs on MacOS X, I lean towards it being FF ;-)

Note also bug 301869. Are there any JS console errors in this case (with showInChrome on)?

Confirmed no longer occurs. Never was confirmed to be a Firefox bug.
