Can't/wont fix. I explained to milk directly privately but I'll break it down here too.

 

The bug mentioned is in regards to a feature of CKEditor, the library that our forum software uses for its rich content editor. It will periodically back-up the contents of the field so that in the event of an accidental page navigation, an internet outage, or a power outage, the contents are not likely to be lost. The side effect is that sometimes that content is not cleared properly.

 

Fixing this would require modifications to CKEditor's source code, which could result in the feature being broken and resulting in content being lost prior to being posted - potentially costing people to lose quite a lot of work in preparing a longer topic. The fix would then need to be re-applied with every software update to the forums.

 

So yes - while this is inconvenient, it's not something that'll be fixed as it's a minor side-effect of a crucial forums feature that prevents hours of content work from being lost.
