Should we warn users for leaving a project page with a running project #4110

@kathymakes writes: When I am using a project with cloud variables from the project page - and then I try to leave the page - it throws a browser modal: “The page is asking to confirm you that you want to leave, data you entered may not be saved.” Is this intentional?

Steps to Reproduce

Navigate to the project page of a project that uses cloud variables such as https://scratch.ly/projects/1300001322/ Run the project Click a link in the header such as About Note: a browser dialog appears saying "Leave Site Changes you made may not be saved"

It does not matter if you own the project or not. You do need to run the project to see the dialog.

Operating System and Browser

Mac Chrome

It seems to happen on any project page, with or without a cloud variable. As long as you run the project, you get the notice when navigating away from the project page.

I believe this is the same issue. I also tested on another project that was just a regular project without cloud variables that wasn't censored.
