Yes, I understand, and many seem unaware of this problem and its solution also, which is:

Look at the icons above the message box. See the second last one on the right hand side?

That is where you can save or delete drafts. A draft is: a preliminary version of a piece of writing.

If you select delete draft, I would give it a few seconds to complete the action before navigating away from the thread.

A second option is to simply manually delete it the next time you respond in the same thread.

It will never show up again after that

If this does happen for some reason (like forgetting to delete using the delete draft option),
once you have posted your message and see something you do not want there, like part
of a previous post you no longer desire to respond to, you can edit the post to delete
the unwanted material. Please keep in mind: the edit window is open for only 5 minutes.

When i misclick respond or decide not to respond i largely just ignore it. It'll go away. But if it's in your way for another post, highlight what you've written (i prefer ctrl+A) then backspace or delete it. Refresh the page and it should be gone.

She's on desktop. You're on mobile. That button isn't on mobile (for whatever reason).
My suggestion doesn't require it.

It's available on desktop mode in chrome.

Yes. It's not available on mobile. As in the mobile version of the site. Switching to desktop adds the button as its a desktop button. If you go to the mobile version using a PC it won't be there.
Ultimately the button isn't needed though. So switching to desktop is an extra step is all.
