Summary

In Jira new issue view, users who edited an issue's description can leave the change by navigating to other pages and the change won't be saved. In the previous issue view, all changes will be automatically saved once the focus is moved.

The difference in behaviour leave users with the impression that the change is saved causing misinformation to other users until the author visit the issue again and click on Save.

Steps to reproduce

1. Go to any issue in new issue view.
2. Edit Description or add a new Comment.
3. Without clicking on Save, navigate to another part of Jira e.g. other issues, administrations pages, etc.
4. Revisit the issue and you can still see the change made in Edit mode.

Expected result

The behaviour where changes are saved automatically as per in previous issue view to maintaining consistency.

Current result

Changes made are not saved until the author realize it.
