Drafts of posted tests

Is anyone else finding drafts of posted tests in their profile area?  I created a post and posted it  (no more than a second elapsed between the two actions), and now it's both published and sitting as a draft in my profile area.

    I hadn't noticed but I'll now look for it.

    A saved draft would be a real bacon saver when the site logs you off during creation of a long reply.

      Good catch maratsade! Thanks for posting! Here's what I see on my profile page--apparently I have a saved draft from Thursday.

        If it saves at least one draft, it may be a very useful thing for those who write detailed posts -- but I tested the draft thing and it doesn't work if I'm logged out.  Posts submitted while logged out seem to just go poof and vanish into the ether.

         

        I see the Autosave kick in for the post as I'm writing it, but I don't know if this is what generates the draft under my profile.  

         

        ETA:  Well, it didn't work.  This post wasn't saved as a draft in the profile area.  I have no idea why one post was and the other wasn't.   Everything else was the same.
