Editing any form in the admin interface (for example, Website Settings->Appearance and selecting a different font under Typography), then navigating away from that page (by clicking another link) brings up a modal dialog “The data on this form has changed. Do wish to continue without saving?” Choosing Cancel does not dismiss the dialog, the only valid choice is to click “OK”, leaving the page and losing your work.
Is this a configuration issue on our end? Or a bug?
Hi @relaxing
Can you specify the OJS version that you are using, e.g. OJS 3.1.1-4 or OJS 3.1.1-2? Also, are you using the default theme?
Hmm. I cannot reproduce it on this version. Can you look at the PHP error log and browser’s console for errors? Relevant are logs just after reproducing the error.
If you are using hosting, you can ask hosting provider for PHP logs. On Ubuntu they are located inside /var/log/apache2/ directory by default (file called error.log)
@Vitaliy Here are the errors generated loading the page edited. No errors are thrown when the modal pops up.

Yeah, no relevant errors. And I can reproduce this behavior. There is an issue on GitHub and it’s resolved, so needed changes will be shipped in one of the future releases: Empty query lingers after closing new query modal · Issue #4157 · pkp/pkp-lib · GitHub
Thank you for reproducing, @Vitaliy. On the surface, issue #4157 that you linked looks like a different bug, because my issue does not involve reloading the page with a modal open. Can you confirm, @asmecher? I would be happy to open a new issue in GH if so.
I agree that it doesn’t look at a glance like the same issue. @relaxing, it looks like you’ve included your PHP error log above, but have you checked your browser’s error console? This could be caused e.g. by a Javascript error.

Hi @asmecher,
No errors in the console, running Chrome 71. Turning up the log level to verbose reveals some warnings from jquery and tinymce libs.
jquery.js:9627 [Deprecation] Synchronous XMLHttpRequest on the main thread is deprecated because of its detrimental effects to the end user’s experience. For more help, check https://xhr.spec.whatwg.org/.

Each time I click Cancel on the modal it spawns a warning:

Nothing new happens on clicking OK.
Hi @relaxing,
I’m seeing similar behavior over here – I’ve filed it at "Cancel" on "Are you sure you wish to leave the page" behaving badly · Issue #4352 · pkp/pkp-lib · GitHub. Watch that entry for an update.
