Form data loss by dropping unfocused tabs out of memory

Reported by fe...@t-r-t.at, Sep 13

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/69.0.3497.92 Safari/537.36

Example URL:

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Bring the PC to memory pressure (VM with little memory, many open Chrome tabs)
2. When Chrome is in memory pressure, it drops inactive tabs out of memory. This is visible as Chrome refreshes tabs on activation.
2. Open a tab with a form and enter text to the form.
3. Switch to another tab, and switch back to the form tab

The tab is reloaded, entered form data are lost.
In a web application this is data loss through browser behaviour.

What is the expected behavior?
Tabs with forms, or forms that were modified, should not reload to not loose data.

What went wrong?
Data loss in forms
