More fine tuned auto save feature in Lotte for Transifex

Lotte is the component of Transifex providing the web UI for the translators to translate online. Well, some time back, I made some changes in the Lotte code so that it has the auto-save feature on by default. It was running fine then and I was happy. Then I added the spellcheck feature in Lotte. Then the things started going not as expected. Actually, the auto-save triggers when the contents of a text area has been edited and it loses focus....

So, I deleted the browser data and tried to login using firefox, opera and google-chrome, but I still couldn’t login. Then, I established an ssh tunnel from my computer to a remote server and set up proxy settings in my browser to use the ssh tunnel. And now, I can login correctly....
