Why do I lose the content of meta boxes when I leave the page?

This is because save_details is not checking if its an autosave routine:

add_action('save_post', 'save_details');
function save_details() {
    global $post;
    // verify this is not an auto save routine. 
    if ( defined('DOING_AUTOSAVE') && DOING_AUTOSAVE ) return;
    update_post_meta($post->ID, 'short_description', $_POST['short_description']);
}
