Description
The user is being logged out before the expiration of the cookie sometimes,
could this be because of the Accounts_Default_User_Preferences_idleTimeLimit ?
I couldn't find in the code where the session is ended because of this setting tho
Steps to reproduce:
Login
2.
be idle and the window logs user out.
Expected behavior:
because the cookie doesn't expire for quite some time,
I would expect neither would the session.
Actual behavior:
after some time the session ends, despite their being lots of time left on the cookie.

Research direction
No source file, test, or entry point is named. Start by tracing how Accounts_LoginExpiration and Accounts_Default_User_Preferences_idleTimeLimit affect the session when the user is idle or the screen saver starts. Done means the session does not end before the configured expiration, with a regression test covering the reported behavior.
