Node title in Preview mode

Hi there!

Does anybody know why when previewing a node its title
appears with a link to "/node"? I have seen some
users
accidentally clicking on this link and loosing their
content.

Is there a reason why the title appears with a link?

Thanks!

Yes. Wouldn't it be easier just to remove the link?

I don't think users expect to see the node title with a
link
pointing to somewhere. And definitely this place is not
"/node".

Florian - I would appreciate if you shared your patch with
us.

Cheers, guys!

I actually wrote something like that on fastcompany.com at the client';s request, adding a title attribute to these links with the text "Links are disabled during preview.&quot;, and since then we haven't had any complaints of lost content.

I'll make a patch for this when I get back from lunch.

The title, and enclosing link, shouldn't be changed or
removed since
the preview is supposed to be a preview.
