VisualEditor / new Wikitext automatically attempts to recover an incomplete edit.
But more often than not, I'm reloading a page because either VE encountered an error or I had made a mistake, so the recovered edit actually gets in the way of me making the edit I want.
Is there an easily accessible button to say "discard recovered edit and restart from the last saved edition"?
It should ask you when you reload the page. There is no "cancel" button. I think that clicking on the "Read" tab might have the same effect, though. (We'd have to experiment to find out if that's the method.)
It went straight into the recovered edit. There was no option to cancel the automatic recovery. Going to the read tab and the clicking edit again goes back to the same recovered edit. Essentially it got too good at figuring out that I have an unfinished edit.
So far the only reliable way of cancelling the recovered edit and starting afresh is to deliberately click "discard edit" and thereby exiting the editor.
