 Not sure if this is a bug or by design, but it's annoying.

 I was in the middle of building (actively working on) up a large menu when
 the "Are you human" modal popped up, followed by the login form. After
 login, I went to save the menu and I got the "Link no longer valid" error.
 So my only option was to refresh the page which meant losing all my work.

 I'd imagine that this would happen if I was in the middle of writing a
 post/page also - which would have been even more frustrating.

 I know that this is done for security reasons, which is fine, but there
 should be mechanism to stop you looking you unsaved content when it
 happens.
