How to stop double-click on admin comment reply wiping out my reply?

  • As per the title, really. Go to a comment in the dashboard, click on reply, then double click on an individual word within the original comment to which you’re replying – it opens the edit box for the comment I’m replying to & it closes the reply box I had open & I totally lose the comment I’d just spent 15 minutes writing.

    I turned off plugins, and tried all sorts – turns out it’s a “feature”!

    A final secret shortcut is double-click. Just click twice on a comment in the Comments view to open up the editor.

    That’s one secret I’d like to hide again! Short of turning off javascript, how can this be fixed?

  • This is one of the dumbest “features” I’ve ever encountered in WP. I’ve wiped out countless comments I’ve been laboring over for 10-15 mins. or more, then having to go back & duplicate what I’ve just spent so much time & energy writing.

    Pls. someone tell me how to request officially that this feature be eliminated or at least tweaked so that users like us don’t lose our comments.
