[Design][cosmo][last call][Bug 7633] Moving event lozenge on calendar canvas mid-edit loses edits in detail view

[Matthew Eernisse]

We probably don't want to wait for a drag, since simply clicking on a 
different item from the currently selected one will also wipe out any 
changes to the form.

I might suggest slightly different wording for the message -- 'please' 
might be taken as a request, as if we *want* them to save their changes. 
Maybe something like:

"You have made changes to this event. If you do not save your changes, 
they will be lost."

In any case, I think we need to implement this to avoid a lot of users 
unintentionally blowing away changes they've made.
