Latest from my annoying side:

Latest Firefox seems to be free of this menace
Latest Chrome is allowing this menace

Problem is agnostic to Articles or any Rich Text Editor
Problem is uber irritating

TinyMCE could have a fix

tinymce.init({
    plugins: "autosave",
    autosave_ask_before_unload: false
});

Here is JavaScript code handling the popup:

window.onbeforeunload = function() {
//I could remove this line, and load this script in my Manager specific pages
    return 'You have unsaved annoying changes!'; 
}

Hi,
Actuatualy Firefox is not free from this menace. to recreate the problem open een Article blogpost and hit the 'close' button.
You should get a warning 'You have changes pending; are you sure you want to cancel?'
I tracked this problem down to the update.js on line #550 (and create.js) from Articles

tagField.enable()

.

When Articles form is initialized it does an AJAX call to get the tags for your blogpost. After getting the tags an enable() method is called to enable the tags field to be editted. BUT this enable method somehow also makes the tag_field Dirty. that's why you get the warning.

I tried to fix the problem but there is nu clean() method unfortunatly in ExtJS (https://www.sencha.com/forum/showthread.php?63445-Any-way-to-reset-the-dirty-property-of-form-fields-back-to-clean). So i'm stuck
I don't speak ExtJS so i can't fix this problem. I hope someone else with more Extjs knowledge can fix this

Yep, I get it in Firefox too. Will look into the ExtJS problem, I'm not fluent but know enough to do some damage.

Am getting issue on all browsers and platforms. Seems to be a universal issue - is there any resolution to it yet? Has this been posted as a bug?

Sorry to say that the ghost has returned.
Was this fixed two years ago and returned in the latest version?

Yeah, it is a real shame since I like Articles more than Blogit, but I might have to go with Blogit for now until this is resolved. I think my client would get too annoyed with this bug.

I sometimes see it outside of Articles and I don't have TinyMCE installed. I'm pretty sure I see it in extras that don't use ExtJS/modExt.
