7. I sometimes get that "missing text box" when there's a dropped internet connection

when submitting a preview or post.

I recall using a browser extension in the past that let me edit text boxes in an external editor.
Among the countless extensions I load up for three separate browsers.
This presumably (!) would save the text when the browser's text box empties.

chrome-bee (bee for browser external editor) seems worth a try.
Works with chrome (and hopefully Opera, based on chrome) and Firefox.

But not safari, now that I have the latest MacOS safari, and use it a lot.
I'll keep looking.

The sneakiest way to lose a post is when the subject is on my trash list.
But that's entirely my fault, and why I misspell certain words on purpose.

Happy posting!
