It isn't always a bug in the program. Something like that can be caused by the user's--in this case Russian Soldier, but who ever--internet connection dropping out for a bit. Even with cable/broad band, a little hiccup on the network somewhere and the transmission's dropped. Also, it may be an issue with the server--maybe too many people clicked refresh at the same time, maybe the server software they use (ie apache, but whatever they have on their machine) has a minor glitch that isn't frequent enough to replicate reliably, so they can't fix it.
It's not that big a hassle; just after you're finished with your post, click in the box, hit Ctrl+A (windows, forget what Mac is, but I'm fairly sure it's similar), Ctrl+C. Click post, then if it chunks out on you hit Ctrl+V in the box when you get back to the screen to make your post. It takes longer to read what I just wrote than to do it.
