Lines (from draw) move when re-loading page

After I draw lines as part of a map I'm making, if I move to a different page and then come back, the lines all shift to the upper left of the screen and become disjointed from the original map. Web Browser Chrome 19.0.1084.52 Operating System Microsoft Windows 7
Are you doing anything else after you switch to the new page? Changing the zoom? Drawing more lines?

No, nothing.

I just opened a new page to test it out, and it did it again. Just create a new page, drop a tree or something in the middle, then beside the object, draw some lines. Then, go out to another page, then come back to the test page, and the lines move up to the upper left corner.
I can't seem to reproduce this. Anyone else experiencing similar issues?

Maybe I can make you part of my campaign to see?
I've tried a few different thing to reproduce it, but haven't been able to reproduce it either. I've got the same OS / browser version as Furio G currently. I'll keep trying, though.
I just tested it out in my campaign and can't make it happen either. @Furio, I did notice that you're using a slightly older version of Chrome. You might want to try updating it (click the wrench, go to "About Google Chrome" and let it scan/update, then click "relaunch") and try it again to see if it keeps up.

I just closed chrome, and opened again, logged in, and now my maps are 3-4 hours old! I have almost nothing left of what I was working on...man, I don't know what is happening, but that sucks.

My "about google" says I have the latest version...
Hmmm...I'm not sure what happened, Furio, but I'm really sorry to hear that. It sounds like maybe there was an error going on that wasn't presenting itself and it caused you to not have a correct connection to the server. Let me know if it happens for you again. This is the first I've heard of this problem happening to anyone...

The drawing issue is gone now, so I'm not sure what is going on. Is there a way to know while working on something (an indicator) that you are connected to the server? That way, someone won't toil for hours and then realize their work is not being saved. Maybe just a small green/red light or something in a corner of the screen, out of the way... It is a great tool by the way, maybe I'm just having a bad luck day with it.
It's already supposed to notify you when you lose connection to the server, yes, which is why I'm thinking something else more insidious must have happened. But I will see if there is anything I can do further to make absolutely sure the server is still responding while you're connected. Again, sorry for the bad luck, and I hope it never happens to you again.

I had some trouble with the server today. I got the message about not being connected for a few minutes, then the error was gone. I did not make any changes during that time. Maybe there was something server wide going on?
