In the WordPress Dashboard, the Quick Draft widget highlights the title
field, but it is still possible to create a draft post without entering a
title or any content.
Steps to reproduce:
Go to Dashboard → Quick Draft
Leave both Title and Content empty
Click Save Draft
Current result:
A draft post is created even though no title or content was entered.
Expected result:
WordPress should prevent creating an empty draft or require at least a
title before saving from Quick Draft.
Why this matters:
This can create accidental empty draft posts and is confusing from a UX
perspective.
