Let's call it a usability issue. In some relatively likely situation the user is presented with an interface that does not work as "advertised" (the quick reply box). One possible "fix" would be to have some timeout for the reply box that's not longer than the "log out" timeout. But that's not a robust solution, and I doubt one can be found, since it's a matter of server and client doing the same thing without communication...

In this context, "repost" implies "rewrite".
