Which browser are you using? The comment field on the new page should
have the comment you had typed in on the bug page.

We don't warn, since it's designed so that you won't loose the comment.
Not sure why that didn't work for you.

Feel like contributing a patch? :) Launchpad is open source, you know!
The reason it's not AJAX, is that it was simply too much work to do it,
we didn't have enough time. Javascript can't (for good reasons) read
files from the local disk, thus uploading files via Javascript is far
from trivial. That's why we made the decision to keep it as a separate
form, but still retain the comment you typed, in case someone wanted to
attach a file in the middle. I don't know why that didn't work for you.
