[Bug web/30584] New: bugzilla: cannot add comments

[Martin dot vGagern at gmx dot net]

I tried to add a comment to my bug #28686. Being a common user, I could not
modify the asignee, that was static text only no entry field. When I comitted
my addition, I was asked for my password, and then told:

You tried to change the Assignee field from unassigned@gcc.gnu.org to
__UNKNOWN__, but only the assignee of the bug, or a sufficiently empowered user
may change that field.

This effectively prevents me from adding comments to the bug report.

Another thing that might be related: When I log in on the home page or through
the "Log In" link on any report I get to the home page, and my status is logged
in. When I jump from the home page to a specific bug, by entering its number in
the form and clicking "Find" or by directly entering its URL, my status is back
to not logged in, as I have the "Log In" link in my footer.

It would be useful to have this bugzill as a Product as well. gcc is definitely
not what this is really about, but I found no better alternative.

recently.

Clearing browser cache helped. Maybe bugzilla did not mark a page as changed
that had in fact changed for some reason. I'm ready to provide additional
information if I can. Just ask. Unfortunately it is too late to record the
network traffic.

This is known bug in all bugzillas. It happened to me very often in Mandriva's.
Perhaps it has been fixed in a recent version. If you are interested in seeing
it fixed, please report it to http://www.bugzilla.org/.
