Hopefully I'm not repeating an already known issue.

edit: just to clarify this particular sequence of events. It usually happens when I navigate into a post. And I stay there. And then later, sometimes even after leaving the window, and I come back and try to navigate back to the main page. The navigation is unresponsive. Then when I go to leave the hexbear website, it lets me but only after I "okay" a message that says, "Leave site? Your changes won't be saved".. so somehow the website thinks I am writing a comment even though that is not the case.

edit2: appears that these are the errors I am getting from within the console:

I find that in certain situations, I cause my session with the website to freeze.
I am not certain what leads to this, but I think the cause has something to do with the fact that I've told Hex Bear I want to comment, or make some other edit on the current page. (From what I can ascertain though, I haven't intentionally gone into such an editing mode.)
The workaround is that I navigate away from the Hex Bear website, usually by doing a search for "hex bear". Then, I navigate back into a fresh Hex Bear session. When I do the first step above, I get this message, "Leave Site? Changes you made may not be saved." I click yes and that allows me to find Hex Bear and start my new session.
Just curious if anyone has encountered this? I am one of those end users who gets lost easily and thus causes mayhem to happen on occasion.
Thanks so much, if you want me to provide more detail, just holler...>
edit: it happened on the new megathread just now https://hexbear.net/post/276470 (The Einstein thread) my cursor wasn't focused on the comment field or anything I could tell. When I would go to click on the "hexbear" link at the top of the page there was no response. when I went to the url field and navigated away from the page, there was that message, "Leave Site? Changes you made may not be saved."
It was Chinese visitors to the zoo that raised the issue. The zoo is actually in a relatively small backwater (by Chinese standards at least) of only 11 million people. Not a lot of foreigners there to stir things up.
