We've had a problem with a client who spent a number of hours interacting with the "Define Marking Guide" page and then lost all their work due to a session timeout.
Now, I hadn't see this page (in 2.5 in this case) until 5 minutes ago but it appears all to be done by Javascript. Now the question would be is should interacting with these forms reset the session cookie timeout? I'm not sure if there is any Ajax happening in the background that would reset the cookie but if there is not I sense a potentially serious bug here. For the user's point of view, it looks like they are heavily interacting with Moodle and it's hard to say, "well you should have saved your work sooner".
Can anybody enlighten me?
