Message lost on logout

[michnovka]

What happened?

Today it happened to me, that likely my session expired as I was typing my query. I hit send button, and to my frustration, I get redirected to login page and my whole message is lost.

I would suggest that if this happens, you either

1. save message in localstorage and restore it after login
2. do not log user out, simply show a modal that they are logged out, so they can copy the message before relogin

Simply losing the message with no way to recover is inconvenient

Steps to Reproduce

1. log in to librechat
2. go to browser settings and clear cookies
3. type in message and hit send

What browsers are you seeing the problem on?

@danny-avila I do have that option enabled, thats why I believe it is a bug.

I can confirm the same as well. Went looking for a solution after it happened 4-5x since my wknd install. Went to the settings page and the save locally option is already turned on.

Can we have this reopened as issue please? it was dismissed, but the behavior is a bug, as you can see from the comments

@danny-avila this is truly a bug, I have reproduced it successfully. it is not saved in local storage if I am logged out. I have a theory - maybe localstorage is CLEARED when the message is sent, but then the controller sees invalid session and sends to login page. but since the clearing of localstorage happens on submit, it is cleared JUST BEFORE I am logged out.
