Undo the erasure of a comment after pressing escape

I started writing a comment wholeheartedly, despite the discussion being silly and frustrating. There was plenty of miscommunication to tackle and many details to clarify.

Then I don’t remember why I pressed escape. What did Miro do? It erased the comment that I did not complete writing, and took the focus out of the field.

So I thought “shit, ⌘+Z”, and no, my text did not come back. Why: my browser’s undo stack on text cannot function since the focus went out. When I re-click the bottom of the previous comment to re-get the focus, it’s not technically the same field, so my browser still cannot undo it. And since it did not result in a change in the board, Miro cannot undo either. And it did not save a draft of it either.

Now I am utterly frustrated because I have to write it again, and Miro failed me twice to get me there:

  • It destroyed and recreated a field instead of just hiding and showing it.
  • It did not consider keeping drafts of comments in memory

Would you please consider fixing something to prevent future annoyances?

Also I could not find an in-place feedback button.

I remember why I pressed escape! I wanted to use italic formatting in the comment, but that is not available, so ⌘+I on Firefox pops some web page information dialog up. Pressing escape discards the dialog, but apparently Miro catches it too.
