To reproduce it, I log in and leave the browser running. After a while, I don't 
know how long, I return to the page (usually the dashboard), and find that 
while I can still do some things, eg change between interfaces, look at charts, 
etc, I can do no configuration, and logout isn't available. I would have 
expected that it should present the login prompt. I think it does do that if I 
close and reopen the browser.

 I am attaching a screenshot to show which item disappears, but I don't know if 
this list accepts attachments. I have just logged it in, but if the problem 
returns, I will do more screenshots.

How long do I need to wait until it logs out automatically?

Once it has logged out, how do you want me to send the configuration? Is there 
a file I can send? What else?
