#37740: I got auto-logged out and WordPress didn't auto-save the post I was writing

 My WordPress.org installation is running version 4.6 with 2 plugins:

 Jetpack 4.2.1

 Google Analytics Dashboard for WP, 4.9.3.1

 Today I was logged into my WordPress.com account - my Jetpack connects to
 that login. I was in the middle of editing a post when the WordPress login
 screen suddenly appeared, saying I needed to log in (I think I get logged
 out automatically every 24 hours). So I logged in, but when I returned to
 the post I had been editing, my recent changes were gone.

 IMHO autosave should save whatever post I'm working on, before
 WordPress.com logs me out automatically.

 Thanks!

 Ben Maiden
