Confirm when closing window/tab with filled form

Confirm when closing window/tab with filled form

Hi there,

this already happend quite often to me: I'm writing a posting in some forum and use the up-down mouse gesture to create a new window/tab to look something up. Then Opera sometimes misunderstands this gesture and closes the tab I'm just writing in. The result is that everything is lost.
So probably it would be a good idea if Opera asks for confirmation before closing a tab where text has been entered into a form.

+1, excellent idea.

+1, could be useful.

+1 would be needed

-1, because I often write a reply an then change my mind before I send it and just close the tab ... but maybe it should be toggleable
... or maybe opera should remember the imput as it does when you fill a form and then go to previous page and back again and the form is still filled.

serious, Opera remembers the input text if you follow a link or go to a previus page, but if you close the tab it won't show the text when you recover the tab from the trash can.

A better ideea would be for Opera not to display a dialog when closing tabs with inputed text but to store the text for when you recover your page from the trash can.

And another good ideea would be limiting the number of trash can items (fifo mode) so that Opera won't sped too much resources storing them.

I think the limit is not necessary if older items are stored on the harddrive.

I just noticed from Schneemann's post that i actually typed sped instead of spend :d

well, the text is stored in cache, but you cant access

I support this wish, preferably without using a popup dialog when a form entry page is closed. Although I would want the option to toggle this setting of keeping the form entry data.
