WordPress has an autosave feature.

Before you are convinced that you have lost a post please look here
-> Manage -> Posts
Now look for the -> Status button and click it
Next in the drop down menu select “Drafts”
Now click “Filter” and look for your draft.

There are also backups http://faq.wordpress.com/2005/09/28/backups/
And Google has a cache.

Please do not panic. Go through the steps listed above and remain calm.

I just reported a similar issue with the comment editor. I ended up deleting my comment as it was less trouble than copy/pasting it in order to correct it.

Yes. Did you see my reply post? Mine is not a draft. It’s been published.

I followed the link… lovely for me to find that my post doesn’t exist there either =-)

Also, sometimes if you click the back button on your browser you can get back to the page with the stuff still there.

Thanks, Timethief. You can view your post there, but you can’t edit it. Which goes back to the original point: the editor appears to broken.

So great we can all take the day off while it gets “fixed”. ;)

@sassifer – now understood – sorry – See the instructions I left on the other page) look under “published” instead of “draft” also look under “private” before you give up hope.

Just happened to me. I went back and refreshed but that post was all gone. So I went to Photobucket to get all the image codes again. So I quickly fixed my entry. Just spooked me for a bit.
