Comment (by azaozz):

 Testing more: even setting the textarea to `disabled` or `readonly`
 doesn't stop Chrome from overwriting the content.

 28037.patch resets the textarea value to the initial content by using
 textarea.textContent. Seems to work properly for Chrome for now but needs
 more testing, especially in other WebKit browsers.

 Still, the best fix is to set `autocomplete="off"` on the form in Chrome.
 Can also be done with `'post_edit_form_tag'` from a plugin.
