Retrieving old comment text from quick reply

Has anyone ever managed to retrieve old comment text from a quick reply -- for example, if you accidentally closed your browser window, and then reopened it again?

I'm currently looking at it, and I see code that says it should be retrieving the saved form values, but I've never had it work, and I'm trying to figure out if it's just my browser / setup, or if it just plain doesn't work.

Backbuttoning after navigating away always produces the saved old comment text. Closing the tab is irregular: if I open a new identical tab while still on the existing tab, it doesn't save; if I visit the closed entry by directly typing in the URL it doesn't save; if I hit the same link I hit to open the entry in a new tab, also in a new tab, it only coughs up the saved text occasionally. I haven't been able to establish what the pattern is.
