      NOTE: This bug report is for JIRA Server. Using JIRA Cloud? See the corresponding bug report.

      I am vi user, like many JIRA users are.

      I hit escape frequently when I'm done typing. When I'm editing a issue (story) description in JIRA and I don't explicitly click save, I lose my edits.

      This seems like a bug. The expected behavior would be to either lose focus and save the content, or show some sort of popup confirming that I want to lose the content. I should not lose all the content of the edit with a single keystroke.

       

      Workaround

      Use Rich Text editor that is available since Jira 7.3.0 (and onwards). Clicking escape in the Visual edit mode does not discard the comment.
