453469 - Obsolete cookies make Bugzilla not to recognize a bug in part of the current query results

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Bugzilla :: Query/Bug List, defect)

Description

[Matěj Cepl]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; cs-CZ; rv:1.9.0.1) Gecko/2008071615 Fedora/3.0.1-1.fc9 Firefox/3.0.1
Build Identifier: version 3.1.4+  (https://bugzilla.redhat.com as of 2008-09-03)

When running query in bugzilla (be it either predefined query or the result of
the advanced edit query form) and opening first bug in the list, it doesn't
have the navigation toolbar in the top with "First,Previous,Next,Last" buttons.

That makes managing tons of bugs (typical for my workload) pretty difficult,
could we get these buttons back, please?

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.use previous version of bugzilla
2.run a query
3.open the first bug in the results list
Actual Results:  
no navigation bar and totally confusing "Show the last results"

Expected Results:  
First/Previous/Next/Last navigation bar present

<dkl> mcepl: ah, you have multiple cookies of the same key, try removing all of the BUGLIST cookies and test from the beginning
 mcepl: some may be lingering from the old Bugzilla
<dkl> and conflicting
<mcepl> YES!!! I had to relogin, but now it works. Shouldn't bugzilla check, whether there are any conflicting cookies available?
<dkl> mcepl: should but not that smart, it takes the first thing the browser gives it
 mcepl: so basically it was getting the wrong cookie each time and only the other one was getting updated
 mcepl: did you remove all Bugzilla cookies? that may be why you had to relogin
<mcepl> dkl: could I ask to make a comment to my bug, so when (one day, eventually; you see, I am incurable optimist) you will get time to look at it, you will know what's going on?
 dkl: yes, I did, to be sure. Filtered bugzilla.redhat.com and removed all.
 now, I will be able to fix my GM scripts!!! Cool. Thanks
<dkl> mcepl: cool, glad that was all that it was
 mcepl: please comment and close the bug
<mcepl> shouldn't I at least sent it upstream?

That doesn't make any sense. That cookie hasn't changed between versions, at all. It probably hasn't changed in format for five years. I suspect this was due to something funky about the old bugzilla.redhat.com or the new one.
