Hi,
I made the same mistake couple of times already (yes, I know only fool steps into the same problem multiple times) - I tried to vote a post helpful while in the middle of the long reply. In all cases the reply I was writing was lost and I had to repeat again.
I suggest to make all buttons disabled when in the reply mode - so this situation is not repeated.
Thanks in advance.
