If you edit a node, then click "Preview", the "This form was autosaved" alert appears on the preview page load. This is confusing and distracting, but can be avoided with the attached patch (if supported by the theme). Clearly this may not be the best way to deal with the issue, but I wanted to point it out.

This should be handled at the server side, when the preview button is clicked.

Currently, when click on 'preview', the new page display 'view' or 'ignore'. The first restores the last saved data (not good), the latter clears the form (big mistake! it should not reset form).

Bump into critical, as it causes lost data.
