Filtering on Mantis own bug tracker doesn't work

[oskar.berggren]

Hi,

I'm unable to apply any filtering in mantis own bugtracker on mantisbt.org. Whenever I click on "Apply", the form is reset and all open issues are shown (2932 currently, but paging works). Anyone know why this is so?

I'm using Firefox 3.5 on Ubuntu. It doesn't matter if I'm logged in or not.

I tried with FF 3.6 on Windows and FF 3.5.5 on Suse Linux and was not able to reproduce this.

Yeah, I've tried on different computers and it works. And the firefox that can't filter on mantisbt.org successfully applies filters on our local mantis installation. So this was quite annoying.

However, just now I thought about clearing my cookies, so I clear all cookies for mantisbt.org, and suddenly filtering works again! I've had this problem for quite some time, so I suppose there must have been some messed up cookie.

On the other hand... could there still be a bug somewhere here? If I set a new filter, shouldn't that override a possible messed up cookie value with a new, correct value? If it fails to do that, could that be a bug in Mantis?

could that be a bug in Mantis?

I got also the impression, that there is something wrong with cookies / sessions.
