Description Noura El hawary 2010-08-31 11:10:55 UTC
The following has been reported by Marian Duffy:

Yesterday Ray Strode (rstrode) borrowed my laptop because his
 laptop's backlight broke and he needed to check on some bugs. He used my
 laptop (and my user account on the laptop) to log into
 bugzilla.redhat.com. Before he gave the laptop back to me last night, he
 logged out of bugzilla and double-checked to confirm that he was logged
 out.

 I turned my laptop on this morning. Some hours passed, and I checked my   bugzilla mail. I saw there was a new comment on bug 617391, and it asked
for my feedback so I clicked on the email link to that bug. Bugzilla
loaded up with the standard red Red Hat theme. I scrolled down to the
 comments section and posted my comment, hitting the submit button. After
the page loaded, I noticed the bugzilla theme was now blue and my
 comment was posted as Ray.

 - Ray has the blue theme set in his preferences for Bugzilla (I don't, I
 had never seen it before)

 - Ray is 100% sure he logged out of Bugzilla the last time he used my
 laptop last night.

 - When I first visited the page to post the comment, the theme was red.

 It seems something a little weird is going on. I told Kevin about this
 and he said it would be a good idea to write this up here, so here you
 go.

 (bug 617391 is where this happened fwiw)

Comment 1 Noura El hawary 2010-08-31 12:57:51 UTC
hmmm, I couldn't reproduce this problem I tried the following 2 scenarios and I couldn't reproduce:

scenario1:
1- logged in to bugzilla with different user testuser
2- created a bug, then logged out
3- restarted my laptop
4- openned bugzilla, and found that it was asking me to login, and no user was logged in.


scenrio2:
1- logged in to bugzilla with different user testuser
2- created a bug, then logged out
3- restarted my laptop
4- logged in to my email using zimbra as nelhawar
5- clicked on one of the bugzilla links in one of my emails.
6- bugzilla oppened and asking me again to login, so no user was logged in already.

So what i would say is that maybe Ray didn't logout, and he thought he did? the only way to find out is for Marian to try again. Marian is it possible to try again with Ray the same scenario making sure he logs out and check if this problem happens again.

Cheers,
Noura

Comment 2 Ray Strode [halfline] 2010-08-31 13:45:24 UTC
Hi Noura,

First off, why does comment 0 say it's from you and not Máirín ?

I did very consciously log out after using the machine.  But, it's conceivable that I mucked it up somehow.

If I did muck it up, though, and didn't manage to log out, then why was the theme red instead of blue?  As Máirín mentioned in comment 0, my theme is configured to be blue by default when I'm logged in, and the stock bugzilla theme at redhat.com is red.

That was me. I asked Noura to create a bug to track this issue based on an email from Máirín.

Failing someone providing a reproducible case, I'm marking this as WORKSFORME, since I've heard no other reports about this.
