You can ensure that you don't lose any data when working on a large form by doing the following:
1. Add a few fields
2. Go all the way to step 6 and then download the form
3. Go back to step 1
4. If for some rare reason, your FORMgen session is interrupted, you can return to step 1 and reload your form.

Is there no other way to prevent the session from timing out? Is this something that will be fixed in your next version, which is coming out in December of this year?

Having the session timeout is not a bug, it is done for security reasons. If you are using FORMgen on www.formfields.com then you should follow the steps above to periodically save your forms. However, if you have purchased the commerical version of FORMgen, then you can extend the session timeout by modifying /FORMgen/globals.php:
Code:

define ("SESSION_TTL", 60*15); // Expire session after 15 minutes

can be changed to something like:
Code:

define ("SESSION_TTL", 60*120); // Expire session after 120 minutes
