When creating a new forum post, message is preserved if you switch away but the title is not

(#3860) Bug Open: Needs triage threads-forums-media

Reproduction steps

  1. In a forum channel, click + New Post
  2. Enter some text into the title field
  3. Enter some text into the message field
  4. Click away to another channel
  5. Click back on the forum channel
  6. Click + New Post

Expected behaviour

When I perform step 5, I expected the new post to still be in progress with all of the information I had entered.

Actual behaviour

When you return to the forum channel in step 5, it is presented as if you had not started a new post at all. However, when you click + New post, it does show the message text you had previously entered. However, the title is blanked out.

By the way, tags selected before switching away are not preserved either.
