Automatic refresh may destroy ongoing edit

If the Refresh interval preference is set, the pages are automatically refreshed with that interval using <meta http-equiv="refresh">.

If an edit is ongoing, a refresh destroys all unsaved changes.

Proposed solution
Write a javascript refresh function that can be enabled/disabled depending on the application state.

this is hard to get right I think and it is not really a bugfix IMO, so I'd rather plan it for 1.8

It may also be low priority since a very simple workaround is to turn off automatic refresh. Not sure how many use it either?

I do use it but I agree it is of low priority. I use it because throughout the workday I will add actions from my laptop during meetings. When I get back to my office the Tracks browser window will show the actions without requiring me to do an update.

Oh man, this would be so easy to throw in with jQuery. Just attach a listener to all form elements that kills the reload. When results come back, turn the reload back on.
