Waiting too long to click save module, results in deletion

V.3.0.2.0
Ok so I am fuming right now..

When editing a module (a large, complicated one with code for 9 languages), it seems that if you wait too long time (my guess is some token expires in the mean time), and then you press 'save' then it WIPES the WHOLE module.
I was editing this module a few hours ago and saved it leaving the edit-module page open in the browser, then after a few hours I came back to it and made another edit and clicked save.. boom everything in the module gone.
Thanks opencart!

Seriously this kind of thing should never happen! clicking 'save' on anything should never ever be able to result in something getting deleted.
Now I have to spend a few hours re-creating it.

Acutally having experimented now. It turns out that once I enter data (there is quite a bit of HTML to enter) for 5 languages (I have 9 total) then this is where it wipes the module.

So I'm now thinking that it is probably storing the module data in the database and there is some limitation on max number of characters.

Any idea how to overcome this kind of limitation? Like which tables to start looking at?
Also any idea if such a limitation is due to OpenCart or due to the Theme?

PS: I didn't ad a crappy spoiler, I added a well known new body to the chassis. This new body causes the shiny nice Porsche engine to fail for some reason...
