Interestingly.....when I submitted the report below, I watched as I pressed the 'Submit and Watch' button.  Both it AND the simple 'Submit' button were triggered as described below. So..it seems as though the same problem might exist on this page, too. (I am using Chrome here.)

I am experiencing this same problem. I tried to submit a brand new story today. I was using Chrome. I submitted it the first time and it appeared in my 'Unpublished' folder. When I went back to edit it, it was gone...nothing there. So, I redid it. 

When I pushed the Save Draft for the second attempt, it did not go to the 'Unpublished' folder. It seemed to disappear again. So I did it a third time. It also disappeared. When I dug a little deeper, I found that 2 drafts had been 'submitted' and were waiting for moderator approval. 

I deleted those 2 drafts and tried a 4th time. This time I noticed that when I pushed the Save Draft button, both that button AND the Submit button were triggered and the little 'loading' symbol was spinning on both buttons. That draft also went through as Submitted. 

At that point I had made all the edits I really needed, so I left it for approval, but this is a major problem, so I wanted to put in this report. 

Thanks,

Hedone

It seems like when I hit "Save Draft" it now submits the story for publication. At least now the home page does not generate an error.

So you are the second person that I know who has reported it. Yet it doesn't seem to happen to everybody, like Nicolas mentioned above. Yesterday I tried it on Chrome, Firefox, and Edge from a desktop. If it had started in early September, then a lot of people would have mentioned it by now. A recent glitch? The widening of the "Save Draft" button - I'm sure that is happening, which would suggest the template issue that Jen mentioned above. (I don't even know what that exactly means.) I'm absolutely sure I am hitting the correct button.
