Post/Page Publish/Update button not clickable once I make an edit

It appears to be a bug, but one that can be hacked around each time it happens with about 2 seconds of work. This wordpress forum thread:

If you’re using Chrome, right-click on the greyed-out “Update” button
and select “Inspect Element”. You will see something to the likes of:

<input name="save" type="submit" class="button button-primary
button-large disabled" id="publish" accesskey="p" value="Update">

Just delete the word disabled and the update button will become
clickable again. Click it and it should update.

Saved me reloading and losing work.
