Maybe I'm misunderstanding the way the Delete Draft function is supposed to work, or maybe there's a bug, but after I've typed something and tap Delete Draft, nothing changes; the text is still visible. I have to manually select it and use my keyboard's delete to remove it. I'm doing this on an iPad Pro on 13.6.1 with a Magic Keyboard with the desktop version of this site.
Got a tip for us?

Delete draft doesn't clear the text

When you type in a message it's automatically saved on the backend as you go, this way if you leave the page for any reason during that post it will be there when you come back as a draft, preventing the loss of your post. You will often notice this if you decide to wipe out the post and later go to reply somewhere else, which can be frustrating. Deleting that draft will make it disappear completely. Hope that makes sense.
So you're saying Delete Draft means it won't remove the text in the post box, but removes a version that's saved on the backend?When you type in a message it's automatically saved on the backend as you go, this way if you leave the page for any reason during that post it will be there when you come back as a draft, preventing the loss of your post.

Exactly. It's easiest just to manually wipeout the text in the box and then click the delete draft button, that will ensure it's gone.
Thanks to both of you for clarifying that. My expectation about it clearing the current posting box was wrong.
