Getting spurious uncommited draft errors

This is happening quite frequently. I'll go to edit a profile that I've committed a change to and I'll get an error that I have an uncommitted draft. This may be the case behind the scenes, but it isn't the reality as I always commit my changes when I'm done, and generally keep changes small and focused anyway, so no manual drafts. Therefore this must be a bug in the automated drafting functionality. It has happened twice to me tonight on the profile below, once for the commit I made last night and once for a commit I made this evening.

This sounds like it might be the same issue as https://www.wikitree.com/g2g/1336757/glitches-with-auto-save?show=1336771#a1336771. If that is the issue, a fix is being worked on.

It does. Unlike the responders there, I discard the saved draft to reenable editing, as I know it's spurious.
It happened to me again today.  Unfortunately, there was no option to 'discard the draft', or I would have done, thinking that 'full save:commit changes' would have...er...committed the changes?
The autosave should no longer happen while a full save is in progress.
