Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Bugzilla :: Query/Bug List, defect)

Description

[laurens.bal]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:14.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/14.0
Build ID: 20120624012213

Steps to reproduce:

*Clear your browser cookies first*

Step 1: Go to query.cgi
Step 2: Click on the tab "Advanced search"
Step 3: Search for "test"
Step 4: A huge list of bugs will appear
Step 5: Go to https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/buglist.cgi?regetlastlist=cookie


Actual results:

A message "Missing cookie" will appear. 


Expected results:

Because the parameter "regetlastlist" cant store large search results in a cookie.
This problem occurs because of cookie length limits.

Bugzilla correctly throws an error that you have no such cookies, and the UI displays no link pointing to regetlastlist=cookie. So this is not an issue.
