but in my php.ini there are only timeouts set in seconds and noting above 90 seconds. Also in the apache-confs there is nothing to find about this.
I've gone overnight with editing and haven't been logged out, so it's definitely possible. In my php.ini there's an option called "session.cookie_lifetime" which apparently means "until the browser is restarted." Maybe that's it? (Assuming cookies are working for your sessions and it's not falling back to another method that times out sooner.)
The session may expire earlier than the cookie; the server has no way of knowing when the browser leaves.
Note that if you log in with the 'remember my login' option checked, the session is automatically reopened should it expire, until up to 30 days later.
Either way if you've been away for a while just open another link (like the main page) in a new window/tab - log in there if required, and then go back and save your changes in the original window/tab.
Personally, I pull out the 'preview' button for this sort of case. Once you're sure the session is reestablished, you can click 'save' in confidence. :)
