"The request timed out" message when returning to app

[alexbbrown]

Describe the bug

I switched away from metatext and then later switched back

I saw a modal with the text "the request timed out" and an OK button. Which I pressed

there was no clear cause or consequence or response I could make out.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. I cannot readily reproduce this. It happened once.

Expected behavior
unless it's in response to a user action and results in data loss, probably best not to show the modal at all

I have seen this several times as well. In the early days of Twitter migration when my server was very slow, I saw it quite regularly - I assumed some background operation was still in progress when I last switched away from Metatext, then after switching back enough time had expired that it was considered a timeout. Similar to #216, possibly the same root cause?
