Description Adam Ness 2003-10-31 08:29:07 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.1.4)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages
Compiler:          gcc 3.2.3 
OS:          Linux

I've noticed that when using a web application using cookies for session authentication, closing a child window expires the session management cookies in the parent window.  This is extremely inconvenient, since it requires you to log in again to a page if you close a popup window that accessed those cookies.

Session expiry cookies in a child window should never globally expire cookies in other windows.  They should either keep local copies to their own window that expire when the window closes, or they should not expire any cookies when they close.  Having a hybrid behaviour as is currently implemented makes browsing some session-enabled sites almost impossible.
