Is the save draft keyboard binding broken?

Question

Ctrl+S doesn't work for me on any of the sites.

When my cursor is focused in the textarea and I hit Ctrl+S I get the browser default of saving the entire webpage rather than saving my draft.

I'm using Firefox 3.6.12. Is anyone else having this problem?

Ditto for me in Chrome (dev), but the periodic saving is working. — Rebecca Chernoff, Commented Nov 9, 2010 at 18:54

This was removed, it was 50+ lines of javascript, served literally millions of times a day, for what is effectively an easter egg.

Posts are auto-saved as drafts every 45 seconds; nothing else needs to be done.

update: If you would like to have a "save right now button" George Edison graciously submitted a user script to do this at Manual Draft Save - Save a draft on demand

There really should be a button or some option to force the save then. I really don't want to have to wait until it autosaves if I must close the browser or otherwise navigate away from the page.
