[Bug 18460] New: Taking too long to type Test Data results in information being lost
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18460 Summary: Taking too long to type Test Data results in information being lost Product: WineHQ Apps Database Version: unspecified Platform: PC-x86-64 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: major Priority: P2 Component: appdb-unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org ReportedBy: daniel.santos(a)pobox.com I typed up a very lengthy Test Data report for Lord of the Rings Online only to hit preview and be redirected to the login page, I presume due to a session timeout. I logged in and it sent me back to the Add Test Data form with all of my information gone!!! Because arriving at this form used a POST and not GET (I presume that to be the reason) attempting to return via my browser's history was also unsuccessful as I was prompted that it would have to resubmit the form to display the page and I agreed. I set the initial severity to major, although I'm sure you guys have your own measures for bug severity. The reason I did this is because it resulted in the loss of about 30 minutes or more of work in detailing my test and results. Many people who run into this error will not bother to submit a bug report, and in fact, will probably just get frustrated and give up -- this is very bad. Perhaps the number of times this has occurred can be ascertained by examining the server logs and look for a URL pattern that indicates a submission of Test Data where a session had expired. I understand if you want to keep the session timeout low. But at a minimum, the submitted data MUST NOT BE LOST, no matter what! -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.

I think that will do for now. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.
