Do you by any means leave your window tab for long before replying? Usually while replying post like you need to preview after which it will disappear, I think had witnessed something like this.
I also receive an error message too, but I forgot with the explanation.

It's really annoying when we forgot to copy the text, but we've reload the page, so we will lose all the text that have been written.
You don't need to refresh page I think you just need to preview the page then everything will be off, if you refresh page you have to lose all your already written text inside the reply box. Yes is true that we can't recall to screenshot or copy out the text but I guess it's not something very bad to us while replying the post.
