Theme changes Discourse | missing save as draft button

Even if there have been some nice changes for the Mobile theme in Discourse, I do miss the save as draft button.

It was available when clicking on Discard > save as Draft. Can we get that back.

Sometimes it saves as draft automatically, but not always! I would like to be able to have the control over that.

I saw now that the “save as draft” button has been removed while they say it saves all topics as draft when I Discard them.

I can not confirm that this option not works, as it was with the separate “save as Draft” button.

Several times I lost my work already, when I just wanted to continue on a other time, with a topic.

@mattdm are you still in change with the theming of Discourse? I wanted to ask on meta.discourse.org, however i should have the exact version number of what we do use and if we still use a default theme from discourse.

We’ve got our own modified theme, so it’s possible we’ve introduced a bug somewhere that affects this. I’m seeing drafts automatically saved if I close without discarding, though, fwiw.

I just tried it just now. “Draft Saved” pops up in the right corner of the page, briefly, after the compose window closes.

" :white_check_mark: Draft saved!"

My saves are automatically working too.
I wrote the above line, closed the window, came back to discourse, came to this page and my draft was here.

‘Discard’ will delete the draft.

ok, I used this so often before change that I am used to click on that.
Now I see hovering over the x (controls) Save and close!

Got it now, thanks mathh & mattdm.
