Text in report entry field can be lost, and that's sad #205

When you are entering text in report entry field (eg. when entering an incident report, or adding a long run of text to an incident, the text can be nuked accidentally by browser gamma rays (crashes, accidents, etc.).

Perhaps a single blob per incident/incident report and/or per user of draft text in the DB could remember what you are doing every few seconds so you don't lose all of it.

Would need some way of indicating that recovered text exists somewhere, etc.

Not sure if local browser storage is a good option here.
