Should we have a dialogue box to warn us when pressing the cancel button when editing a comment?

Basically I accidentally pressed the cancel button when I was editing a comment, so I lost the edit so I needed to re-write it.

Might be for mobile only or a toggleable setting.

    p.s. I have messed up and accidentally cancelled an edit before. A confirmation would probably be nice since it will only be a minor inconvenience to those who genuinely wish to cancel, but with the benefit of potentially helping prevent people from accidentally losing their edits.

    Checked reddit, same thing, no confirmation upon cancel. Can't say I've ever needed it or that it's worth Deimos' time to implement, but that is for him to decide.
