Forced logout of admin

Often when I'm in Admin I'll perform an action and find myself logged out, back at the login screen. I haven't noticed it connected with any particular action or section (it seems to happen randomly), and it doesn't seem to be a "timeout" situation. Are there certain actions that can cause a logout?

I have this same issue when using IE7 (unfortunatly I can't install FF at the office)

Which browser are you using and does it help to use another one?

I just can repeat: which version is your installation?

Are you really logged out?
Or are you just redirected to the login page?
What happens if you go back using the browsers back button?

Also...paste which modules you have installed. Some older/outdated modules can cause that behavior.

Modules are:
GBFilePicker 1.1
CGSimpleSmarty 1.4.5
CGExtensions 1.21
AdvancedContent 0.6.1

Also running the ZURA2 (aka Minimalist Theme) admin theme - anyone had problems like this with it?

NaN, I believe I am really logged out, but I will check to make sure next time it happens.

and what are the actions that you do, when you are logged out?

This forced logout thing seems to have got less frequent recently. Have been keeping track of when it occurs: has happened once on attempting a rename in File Manager, and twice after applying a stylesheet to a template.

Tried using the back button each time and was able to return to admin, so I guess it isn't a real logout. Seeing as it's that easy to get back in the issue is probably not worth worrying about.

Thanks for your help folks.
