Preview reply vs. reset message
Oh boy, this drives me nuts, everytime i wish to edit
my very own post i screw them completely instead
of fixing.
In my (not so humble) opinion there it is a huge mistake
to change the rules how the message window will behave.
If you are editing your own post there should be a "Preview
post Button" too. Instead there is a "Reset message Button".
This gives me the loop everytime. argh!
I am almost always losing a great deal of quality of my
post. Do you want that?

Wow. You learn something new every day. I never click the Preview Reply button -- didn't know it was there either. I just look over my post after actually posting it and edit anything that I screwed up.

I have never EVER noticed that button or made that mistake, and I've been here since before the "blackout." I shall go to edit this post and see what you're talking about...

I do agree, same habits. BUT. There are circumstances, you know.
Sometimes you just want to edit a post, that particularily refers
to something important. You promise some research.
Finaly you do some research to back up particular
statements or assertions. Than editing starts...
You put a lot of effort
to see how it looks, therefor "PREVIEW" - BOOM - Reset
the whole thing, back to square one. You get the picture.

I don't think you're the only one concerned, it's just that people never come in here. (I've been a member since July 2002, and this is the first time I've had a look in this forum)
I agree with you, it is bad UI design to have buttons that, when you edit your post, are in same position as the buttons you use when posting a new post, but have different functions.
I nearly always use "preview reply", and do miss it when I am editing a post. I've never accidentally hit "reset message", but I can see how you might if on "auto-pilot".

my "auto-pilot" workflow.
