Hello,
I know that this issue came up with v3.0 and non-Latin characters, but I think it's a more general weakness.
If an attempt is made to save a new page without adding a title, any existing page content is lost.
Although focus is given to the Title field when a new page is created, it is entirely possible that content may be created first – for example, by pasting text and subsequently editing or formatting it.
It is then all too easy to click the 'Save' button and lose everything, with just the 'Error: You cannot save a page with an empty title or slug.' for consolation.
Would it be possible to either disable the 'Save' button until mandatory fields are complete, or at least not discard any editor content, please ? It's a better fit with the Principle of Least Astonishment. ;-)
