Solution

I've checked fixes into the 1.9 and Head branch. Basically, from the tiki-editpage:

  1. Users will get an alert if they click a link away from the page. They can cancel and return to their edit.
  2. A alert will appear 1 minute prior to their edit session timing out, based on $warn_on_edit_time.


ML: Works nicely in 1.9.8.3 A few quirks still in 1.10

Would need to be added to other edit fields (trackers, forums, etc)
Maybe it could only be activated if at least one character is changed in the edit box, to avoid getting the message all the time (ex.: if each page has a comment form)
