It was, of course, BRILLIANT lol and now, lost to posterity.
Thinking I should compose on a word doc, save, then copy/paste to post. This has happened on other sites and I did resort to the 'type on WORD, then copy/past to post' method.

Saved a great deal of frustration once I started doing that.

Like LTTE in one's local paper and on other forums.

Anyone have any idea what causes that?

https://ghosttext.fregante.com/
It's not a "drop in" browser extension, but I did get it to work with two different browsers. It mirrors what you are typing in the text area to a text editor of your choice. I use sublime text. The editor never forgets! Only drawback is that when you preview, you have to click on its icon in the browser extension panel, and you get a new mirrored text file. But you then have versions. In Sublime Text, they are unnamed tabs, but are saved automatically (anonymously) unless deleted.
Works on Mac, Linux and Windows.

And went into town to take care of some business. I was glad to see it back up when I returned home.
