Description

Sometimes, when a user leaves a tab open with an issue, and meanwhile somehow gets signed out, the user may try to update the ticket without realizing she is not logged in. In this case, she may spend a long time typing an update to the ticket, which then gets lost when she submits it. Instead of printing only 'invalid form authenticity token' redmine may write something like

-----
Invalid form authenticity token. This can happen if your session has timed out. Please try to log in again. Here is the text you submitted, so you can save it:

blablablabla
-----

That way, the user can copy her work to a text editor, before logging in again and submitting the update again. This would be a usability improvement.
