Chat UI is cleared upon being killed.
When one dies, the chat window is forcibly overwritten by the Game Over screen, deleting any message that was being typed. This is extremely frustrating when, for example, trying to report a hacker in PVP since you lose the name.
This did not happen in the past (versions prior to 1.8), but started happening in 1.9. (Note: this issue has 1.6.2 in its effects version, but on those versions it only happened on spigot servers, not vanilla servers; it happens on vanilla now).
Additionally, this can happen in single-player, not just multiplayer. Of course, in single player it's generally less important since you won't usually be typing in chat, but it still happens (you can test the issue with a command block /kill-ing you).
Steps to Reproduce:
Switch into survival mode.
Teleport yourself up high in the air.
/tp @s ~ ~150 ~Quickly begin typing something in chat and watch the chat UI closely as you die.
Observed Behavior:
Chat UI is cleared upon being killed.
Expected Behavior:
Chat UI would not be cleared upon being killed.

Weird.
I cant reproduce at the moment, so I will need to continue testing.
For that behavior (MC-1663), it should be kept.
It's very usefull.
I'll need to look at my setup to figure out the problem.
This what my friend @The Papa made, his report is MC-96861
This also should be reopened as you can confirm it in 15w31a and later.
That means MC-96861 is a duplicate of this issue.
I've been experiencing this issue since 15w37a, and on MC-1663, the fix version in that issue was 15w31a, based on that, I can confirm this issue.
Edit: I've also been experiencing this on creative game mode.

Just created an account to report this very issue. I want to clarify that it's not just the chat UI that's cleared, ANY UI is replaced with the death screen, meaning even when reporting a player from the pause menu instead of the chat, all progress is lost. I was just hit with a griefer while the server owner is asleep, and it took several tries to report them because they kept killing me, each time forcing me to start over. You also can't pause or chat while dead: you have to respawn, leaving you vulnerable to the next attack, and rush through the UI while the griefer just spawn-kills you repeatedly.
I want to see this issue raised from normal priority to urgent or whatever the highest is. This is unacceptable.

This is the absolute opposite what's being reported in MC-1663 (No death screen while chatting).
