No manual repro or network trace so far, this is for tracking VE loses user token: https://wmf.ci.cloudbees.com/job/VisualEditor-en.wikipedia.beta.wmflabs.org-linux-firefox/9/testReport/(root)/VisualEditor%20multi-edit%20workflow/Make_multiple_edits_to_the_same_article/ VE logs user out: https://wmf.ci.cloudbees.com/job/VisualEditor-en.wikipedia.beta.wmflabs.org-linux-firefox/12/testReport/junit/(root)/Switching%20between%20wikitext%20and%20Visual%20Editor%20modes/Switch_editing_modes_via_toolbar/
Note: a close look at the screencast of the logout instance shows the logout happens instantly upon clicking Edit source for logged-in user. In attempting to recreate the problem I encountered Bug 65710. Since the beta warning is controlled by a cookie, these issues may be related.
I should have said: Note: a close look at the screencast of the logout instance shows the logout happens instantly upon clicking Edit source for logged-in user while the user is in VisualEditor.
Now seen in Chrome also https://wmf.ci.cloudbees.com/job/VisualEditor-en.wikipedia.beta.wmflabs.org-linux-chrome/535/
Created attachment 15607 [details] Screenshot I reproduced this issue, after clicking on Switch to edit source and then again coming back to VE,I tried to save the page from VE. It showed an error: there might be an edit conflict in the save dialog and then I got logged out See the screenshots attached

also still getting this in automated tests launched from WMF Jenkins (not Cloudbees) for example https://saucelabs.com/tests/5c4697a6618543708b7a59382e9813f6
Created attachment 15686 [details] Something went wrong... session no longer valid Slightly different manifestation of error message for this issue.
*** Bug 62583 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Given this is a duplicate of non-VE bugs, it's clearly a MediaWiki issue that the Editing team haven't been able to track down. :-( Moving.
