Description

There is an encrypt icon at the top, and an encrypt action button at the bottom.

If you press the top encrypt icon after you type a message, it wipes the message and starts again.

Would be nice if it noticed the unsaved text and stopped you from nuking your text. Sort of the same way that Facebook stops you from accidentally nuking text if you jump off the page.

Nuking typed text makes me a sad panda.

Research direction

Reproduce the issue on the Encrypt page by entering text and selecting the top encrypt icon instead of the bottom action button. Trace the page entry point and navigation behavior; done means unsaved text is preserved or the user is warned before it is discarded.
