Notes get lost when other widgets change.

"hmm - I typed in a note but then tried to upload a file and the note disappeared. I wish it would have asked me if I wanted to submit it first before losing it. Anyway, I'll re-state my thoughts on this in an email to Lauren and Vanessa." dgj 4-15-09

This note from Donald reflects one of the most frustrating things that happens in Mission Forge.

With me, it usually happens when I start typing a note, then decide I want to change the completion, and lose the whole note as it auto reloads the page.

If there was some kind of confirmation that "yes, I want to lose all that stuff I just spent a lot of time typing" or something, that would make me feel much more confident in leaving notes. To me nowadays it would be intuitive that a tool would help you out by letting you know if you were about to do something that would make you lose a lot of work.
