I'm going to close this as WORKSFORME because it does (and always has), and the bug report gives no details of how to reproduce. Please re-open if you have steps to reproduce.

Sorry for very slow triage.

For the record: going to
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mykola_Labovskyy?veaction=edit
and typing anithing, and then closing the browser tab causes the warning "Are you sure you want to go back to view mode without saving first?"

Yeah I can confirm as well. Not sure when it started working again.
