"Something's gone wrong" deletes 20 minutes of editing a reply

I had this “something went wrong” error on a conversation that was moved to another thread by an adobe moderator. I tried the test message here and i could post that.So it might be a kind of “posting rights“ issue where you lose the rights to post in a certain thread. It might be a form of shadowbanning or just a misconfiguration in this forums user rights assignment.

i’ve never been able to figure out why this happens, but do see it frequently (about ever 4th reply) when using my iphone.

​@johnrellis and all of the reply text has disappeared.  Thank you for respecting my time.

May I suggest a method that should protect you from the maddening prospect of retyping the lost text?

-Have a clipboard history manager installed.

-When you type something, make sure do do Select All > Copy once in a while (by now I’m doing this automatically.)

You can then always retrieve your text from clipboard history. Saved me quite a few times by now. (Albeit you may know all this already anyway.)

if you think you’ve found something new wrong with these forums, report it on slack.
 

I’m guessing you’re referring to some internal system Adobe makes available to Community Experts. It’s not available to most community members, including me.
 

I’m posting here to share knowledge with fellow community members, to make these forums a small bit easier to work with. Hiding issues from users doesn’t help.

I just tested twice, one with the script running and once without. I get the error both ways.

In this post, I’m going to add the space before the open parens, so I’ve added this since it might post!

The workaround provided by the Adobe employee is to call LrTasks.sleep (0)

Edit: it is your ​@johnrellis script I’m referring to. No reason it would cause a problem, but always good to check.

we know it’s predictable.

I don’t know who “we” are, but I’m documenting problems I encounter here, to help in a small way all of “us” in this community who aren’t “we”.
