At some point, the privileges of specific users are lost during the browsing. As for myself, I'm loosing all my privileges, that includes admin, editor and localizer privileges. I'll be glad to know if this happen to other people, and if someone find steps to reproduce.

At least, that need to be investigated at some point.

I understand that this is some "security" mechanism that removes the administrator privileges from the user after a long period of inactivity without unlogging him. Since it only affects administrators and not regular users, and since a simple delog/relog is enough to fix this, I close this bug.
