Not exactly sure about the precise amount of time it takes until session expires, anywhere between one to a couple of hours maybe.
It happened last night while editing a link plugin and the login screen actually even appeared inside the popup where the link editing dialog should be. It has happened before under different circumstances, maybe it's some sort of glitch since I don't think enough time had passed to actually close the session.
Either way, whatever the situation after successfully logging in either page gets redirected, or saving ends up failing anyway resulting in work loss.
Anyway, thanks for reporting those bugs, don't worry about it, I'll try and update the remaining Portuguese pages later tonight.
Season's Greetings, Duarte

Hi Duarte,
wishing you (and everyone else on this list who celebrates it) a Merry
Christmas, too!
I've copied the page for you - weirdly, I think it doesn't contain any
plugins that could cause this... There aren't even any links on that
page, only simple text.
Did it specify which plugins you don't have permission to copy?

- Confirmed. When hitting Enter while the focus is in a text field (of
any plugin, not just links), the dialog will be closed and no normal
text will be saved. All plugins that have been created and confirmed are
visible in structure mode, but not available in the page's source, so
can't even be deleted again (without access to database...).
I'll create a bug report in inkscape-web, so we'll be able to follow up
on this when there's time
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape-web/+bug/1529252).

- This never happened to me... Probably because I save often, even when
I'm not yet done. What amount of time are we talking about? Do you have
an estimate?
I'm very sorry you lost work because of these bugs :/
Thanks for reporting them here, and for your translations, Duarte!
Kind regards,
Maren
