9604	Edit screens expire	chmac	anonymous	"Steps to reproduce:
1) Open an edit post (or page) screen
2) Take your browser offline for 24 hours
3) Put the browser back online
4) Edit the post, type a lengthy, thoughtful, dramatic entry
5) Click save draft / publish as you prefer

Expected result: Your poetic prose is committed to infallible digital memory.

Actual result: You're told ""Your attempt to edit blah has failed."" Press the back button and likely see the previous version of your post. Your latest prose exists now only in your memory.

Technical details: I think the nonce expires, so the post screen becomes invalid after a while.

Proposed solution: Add a javascript timeout to warn the user that the edit screen has expired. Provide a mechanism for the nonce to be updated."	enhancement	new	normal	Future Release	Administration	2.8	normal		needs-patch
