Probably related to #23178

[nickvergessen]

Works after reverting #16783

Commenting out the global ajax error handler makes the problem disappear: https://github.com/owncloud/core/blob/v9.0.0/core/js/js.js#L1441

I suspect that when leaving the page, the ajax call might be receiving an error.

[PVince81]

Looks like we get statusCode 0 and statusText "error" in the global handler when the user navigates away while ajax calls are running.

That code is responsible for detecting either a 401 error or a cross-domain redirect caused by SSO token timeout. Problem is, that one also returns a status code of 0.

[PVince81]

Just tested with a cross-domain redirect, and it also returns "0" and "error" 😦
This will be tricky to detect.

[PVince81]

Okay, let's have a try with http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1370322/jquery-ajax-fires-error-callback-on-window-unload-how-do-i-filter-out-unload-a

[PVince81]

That's a real nightmare... also need to detect whether an app is using "beforeunload" and the dialog pops up, and detect whether the user cancelled navigating away, and then reset the flag.
The horror: http://stackoverflow.com/a/25765797

Doesn't work very well... I'll just put a higher timeout value.

Fix is here: #23487
Protect your eyes, there are some horrors in there (with explanations inline)
