bug DFL-812 - reloading the page when dragonfly is opened is harmful
DFL-812 - Dragonfly's default settings should not be to reload the page when it is opened. This is a harmful and annoying action.
Reproduce:
- Start typing a reply to this post
- Open dragonfly with default settings
- Goodbye reply
Expected result:
Dragonfly should open and be useful.
Actual result:
All the changes you made to the DOM and page in general are lost.

We have already a bug about this, the general conclusion seems to be to revert the current default setting. Meanwhile to can disable 'Settings > Scripts > Reload documents automatically on selecting a window'.

I agree. The default setting should not cause you to lose work. This is however a workaround/stop gap (i hope). DF optimally shouldn't require you to reload the page in the first place.
