Description

Happened today. Was writing a post. A lightbox popped up saying my session was expired. Filled in my creds, submitted and got a 406 error. Tried closing the lightbox - it just popped up again. Tried submitting again. Eventually, had to login into the admin area in a different tab, and only then the login lightbox stopped popping up.

What scares me is there wasn't even an option to save my edit. Luckily nothing got lost.

Switching from wontfix to maybelater, since that's more accurate.
