179298 - cannot upload attachments if not already logged in

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 87404

(Bugzilla :: Attachments & Requests, defect)

Description

[Frank Tobin]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.1) Gecko/20020912
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.1) Gecko/20020912

Do not be misled by the summary; the problems is that if I am not logged in, try
to create an attachment and am then prompted to login, and do so successfully,
bugzilla complains, "You did not specify a file to attach.", even though I did.

It is possible that I cannot upload attachments at all, but due to bug #179290,
I cannot effectively for more than one page at a time.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Be logged out
2.  At a bug, select "create a new attachment"  (I was at bug #154304)
3.  Select a valid filename
4.  Select radio selection "select from list",
5.  From the 'type' dropdown, select any type (I've verified "plain" and
"binary", unsure if other selections make a difference)
6. Submit.
7. Since you are not logged in, it prompt you to login.  Do so.
Actual Results:  
The resulting page says:

No File Specified
You did not specify a file to attach.

Expected Results:  
The file should have been sent.

Typo in my comment:
"but due to bug #179290, I cannot effectively for more than one page at a time."
should be
"but due to bug #179290, I cannot effectively stay logged in for more than one
page at a time."

This isn't a regression, it's always been that way.
