If I switch to another tab on my browser (for looking more information about a subject.) and after a couple of minutes, I return to the editor, the editor reload the page. So, I lost all my edits that I did. That's not handy. I'll be forced to stay on the same tab and can't switch to another tab. Otherwise, I lost al my edits. It happens every time, there are no exceptions. Can you fix it? - (ps; I'm using Google Chome) A second thing is the signature button, it is used by a lot of users but is now hidden and not easily retrievable. I recommend strongly to change this.

The point about the signature is a known one. For the rest, I'll take a look tomorrow, but automatic reload of the page is not a feature I've heard of.
I have. It can happen if there is not enough RAM, at least on my tablet.
We know about this on mobile devices, but I haven't heard it happening on desktop. Auto save is task T57370, VE getting paged out of memory on mobile is task T70017.
It's on my desktop computer.
