Update: I have found a post of someone who is having the same problem: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7411269/web2py-form-works-as-expected-most-of-the-time-but-occasionally-it-simply-clears
With the "view page source", I guess Chrome is reloading the page, so the session key no longer matches. What is the recommended solution when this seems to happen randomly to some pages? Sounds like removing the session from the form opens up vulnerabilities.
