 This is the most annoying thing in 5.x I will often start working on a
 post, do some extensive work and then very annoyingly at some point get a
 login popup due to the cookie having expired.

 Results after this happens is being taken to a very nasty page saying
 "That link is no longer available" (< something like that) result: all
 work lost.

 It's now happened to me a number of times and I do not recall having this
 on 4.x and prior versions.

 If I actually start working inside Admin even 5 minutes before a cookie is
 due to expire, the system should be smart enough to detect I am actually
 an Admin and I am currently active and it should extend the cookie. Unless
 I can somehow bypass this annoying behavior myself?
