By default, users are warned if they try to leave a page while they're editing it. This doesn't appear to apply if you're replying to a LiquidThreads post. This seems like inconsistent interface behavior. Based on a report at http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Thread:Project:Support_desk/Suggestion_to_warn_user_when_leaving_page
That message is provided by the Vector extension on standard edit pages. When you reply on a LiquidThreads-enabled talk page, you are not on an edit page, and the message does not appear.
Yes, I see the technical reason for this behavior: I just think it should be changed. :)
+ Depends on bug 45051 - I don't think this should be done until the feature is in core.
The edit warning feature (and preference) is in core for quite some time now.
