**Author:** `ronp` **Description:** In a system where users must be logged in to edit, if an edit form is submitted beyond the expiry period, only a message to log in again is presented and all text changes lost. This occurs if someone has spent too long editing and is unaware of the pending expiry. Pushing the back button with Explorer 7 yields only an "expired page" message with all previously entered text unavailable. If the post page would a least maintain a copy of the newly entered text, the user could regain their logged in status without losing all their hard work. -------------------------- **Version**: 1.9.x **Severity**: normal **OS**: Linux **Platform**: PC **See Also**: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=41466 https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=45766 https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=73241
