Continue typing tournament chat message after game starts

When playing a bullet tournament, it is nearly impossible to type a non-trivial chat message before the next game starts, when whatever you were typing is lost. You must actually withdraw temporarily from the tournament to be sure what you are typing can be finished and sent without being lost.

Wouldn't it be possible for the game redirect to detect that you had started typing a message, and present some way (on the game page) to finish typing it and send it? It would, of course, be up to the player to do this and then make their first move prior to the 20 second first move timeout. (Presumably this would have to include an encoding of the text typed so far in a query parameter in the game page redirect URL).

I believe this would contribute to a significantly higher quality of chat, since people will be able to compose longer, more complex messages (with fewer typos) without fear they will be lost before being submitted.

I'd love this, often have the tournament open in 2 split screen windows so can chat midgame, but again will auto match you when the games over so you still lose what you're typing.

Agree it would up the quality of conversation, and general sense of comradery. I've seen people ask questions and no one responds because they're getting auto matched before can finish answering, the asker signed out and your left feeling sorry for the person.

Just need the tournament chat box window on the side of the game like normal, where you can check a box in/out to see whichever you prefer. Also while we're on the subject, the ability to add time like normal, overall it would likely be to your own detriment but more satisfying than calling draw or losing on time.

I should say that I'm not advocating for the whole chat interface on the game page, since I think that would allow and encourage excessive (and probably nasty) player-to-player chat. Even if you turn it off for yourself, the messages meant for you would still be cluttering and disrupting the chat for everyone else.

Bumping this since this deserves attention. Can any developers address the feasibility of this request?
