This seems fixed to me...

Eh, could the Flow team be a bit more proactive about their bugeport maintenance please ??

No, I still do not see any preview or cancel buttons.

(Firefox 33.1, Win8)

Lack of cancel button is intended, as it doesn't make sense in no-JS context.
Without JS, you're taken to a designated page to reply/edit/... You can just hit the browser 'back' button to go back to where you came from. There's no special kind of interaction going on that has to be cancelled.

Preview is something else. That too is intentionally lacking, but for other reasons: it's a lot of work to build a no-JS alternative for every feature, so some (non-crucial to discussion) features are ignored (for now).

I think this is a Declined given that we're going to be using VE for preview.

@Mattflaschen this task is about the non-js UI, so VE does not apply here. Does it?

The lack of a cancel button is completely intentional, every browser has a back button and we should not be re-implementing that. The preview does need to be solved.

@EBernhardson might we reopen this task for the "preview" button only?
