Auto-refresh causes iframe to disappear resulting in poor usability

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. view a pipeline
2. enable auto refresh
3. click on a job and a modal window is opened in an iFrame (this used to just 
redirect to another page in previous versions)
4. wait 10 seconds
5. the entire pipeline page is refreshed, removing the iFrame and forcing me to 
navigate to the job again

What is the expected output? What do you see instead? I expect the window to 
stay open.  I would even prefer that these silly iframes go away, and let me 
open new windows in my browser, rather than forcing frames on me.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Latest (as of 9/21/12)

Please provide any additional information below.
This really reduces the usability of the pipeline clicking, and was not a 
problem in previous releases.  Thanks!

You want norefresh="true" on <l:layout> perhaps.

+1 for the original bug.  I have never used the previous versions but this 
behaviour is a bit annoying.  Even something as simple as disabling auto 
refresh while the iframe is visible may be enough.
