Well, I usually delete the text first, but I think that shouldn't make it worse. You might try to be sure.
Note that this has happened a great deal to me (probably most of the time it could) but not all the time. Strangely, today it seems fine (just tried it here, and it's still fine).

It seems a strange co-incidence, but after a very large number of problems with this behaviour, I have not seen it at all in the last few days.
A problem I have often had is when I start to add a comment to a forum but change my mind and want to go somewhere else. I delete whatever words are in the comment and click any link (eg the "Forum" link for a group, going to the forums list). A dialogue appears asking me whether I want to leave my (blank) comment unfinished (IMO, this should not happen) and it has a checkbox to stop the page producing more dialogues.
1. The checkbox usually doesn't work at all: it doesn't change in appearance when clicked
2. Choosing to leave usually freezes the browser on that page.
Even cancelling leaving the page can be problematic, but the main issue is it is impossible to leave the page. Closing the tab produces the same dialog repeatedly (never being able to block it).
System and context
Windows 10, (latest) Chrome, group forums on chess.com (eg Open Discussion).
