   <description>Using Firefox 2.0.0.14, I lose my contribution whenever I try to preview it. Hence, I am forced to save a version that I have not previewed.



The sequence of events is as follows:

1. I open the edit page,

2. I  enter some enhancements,

3. I hit the Preview button, and I check the effect of my enhancements,

4. there are no buttons in the Preview pane, hence I have to go back to the Edit page to save my contribution,

5. back to the edit page, I find my enhancments from step 2, above, have disappeared, and I have to re-enter them.



A possible solution would be to have the submit button, and its associated fields, also in the Preview pane.

Not in every case. Meanwhile, I have tested it with several browsers:

* Firefox 2.0.0.14: The preview opens in the very same window.

* Opera 9.10: The preview does not open, at all.

* IE 7.0.5730.11: The preview opens in a new window.



This behaviour might well depend on the browser settings, which I have not explored. But even if so, the problem remains that the review can delete the enhancements entered by the unsuspecting user.



So, if this is not a bug, it is a feature request.



For an example on how this can be done right, try the Vorschau zeigen button in &lt;http://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Spielwiese&amp;action=edit&gt;.</description>
