From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.0rc3) Gecko/20020523 BuildID: 2002052306 When I'm reading news, if I click on the header for a message, then, while it's loading that message (helps if it's big, like a binary) click on the header for another message, news will ask me for my username and password again. I often (about 40% of the time, pretty randomly) get the same behavior when I try to save a message, then decide not to. I hit space and get prompted for my login. It doesn't crash or anything, it's just really annoying. Reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1.bring up news 2.click on the header for a big message 3.while it's still loading click on the header of another message Actual Results: it prompted me for my uid/password. Expected Results: it should have just abandoned the first message and loaded the second message. I'm not using netscape for mail, so my Local Folders is untouched. I'm running WinXP pro. I had the same problem with Netscape (I reported it and got a "Thanks, we'll let you know if we want your input"), except then it was guaranteed to force me to re-login, rather than just likely...

Forgot to mention, I am using windows 2K to reproduce this bug. The news server is a per-server authenticated server (giganews) Also check out related: bug 36816 and bug 78356 Fixing this might shed some light on 78356 in particular.
