Warning banner does not always work?

To my horror I discovered I posted on an IC forum with my OOC acvount this afternoon. When I corrected it on my phone just now, it dawned on me that I did not see the warning banner while making the mistake on my PC. It does work on my (android) phone. I vaguely remember this might have happened before.
On my pc I use Chrome on Windows 7. I can't check if it still doesn't work right now, so I'll do that tomorrow.

I tried to replicate the problem and found out that the "You are using an OOC account in a IC forum!"-warning banner only appears when typing a Quick Reply. When I go to the full editor immediately the warning does not appear. (This goes for both Chrome and Firefox on my laptop and the browser on my phone)

Do more people have this and is it by design, or is the warning supposed to appear above the full editor as well?

If I remember correctly, that is by (my) design. Not a very good design, mind you...

To be honest, the problem of misposting with the wrong account mostly occured for the quick reply. Fixing it for the full editor would require a large amount of effort, so I'm hoping to postpone that indefinitely.
