Bug report timeout deletes fields

This was going to be an entirely different bug report, but after around 10 mins of typing out the precise issue, when I submitted the form, I got a 404 error and lost the entire bug report! I'm assuming this will be something to do with the form timing out, but not having draft bug reports is kind of a shame... Maybe once created, template bug reports could be attached to user accounts until submission? This would be particularly helpful when you realise you need to screenshot something to demonstrate the issue!
I see that there are quite a lot of bug reports due to the new UI upgrade and this isn't that important, but this is the 2nd long bug report I've lost this way in the last year, and its kind of irritating, so I figured I'd let you know this can happen!

Steps to Reproduce

Create a bug report. Spend a while adding content (several minutes - I think more than 5, closer to 10). Submit the report and get a 404 error - using the browser back button retained the article title, but nothing else : (

This is more a feature request than a bug report, we will take note but it would be helpful if you could also open a feature request
