cookie/authorisation issues

[msjasinski]

This is rather complex and I didn't have time for an in-depth analysis, but let me at least scratch the surface.

1. In private browsing mode, each private tab has acts as a separate session, thus e.g. when I log in to social media or email, each new tab does not remember the session (cookie issue?)
2. In both private and normal mode, when I try to log in to gmail, I succeed only the second time (first time around it says

"Twoja przeglądarka prawdopodobnie ma wyłączone pliki cookie. Upewnij się, że są one włączone lub spróbuj otworzyć nowe okno przeglądarki." [Your browser probably has disabled cookies. Make sure they are turned on or try opening a new browser window.]

I don't get this message in other browsers, having similar privacy settings.

@msjasinski, first one is by design, but you can force shared sessions by opening new tabs from existing private tab. Cloning should work too.

Could you please test the latter issue using test-qtwebkit (it's bundled in Windows packages)?

1. This is a very strange design, unlike any other browser I know.

"but you can force shared sessions by opening new tabs from existing private tab. Cloning should work too."

No, it doesn't work for me. (checked on WinXP and Fedora23 x64)

Maybe this design makes sense if you really want to browse privately, but if you use it for facebook/email it is a nuisance.

1. I have executed:

   "C:\Program Files\Otter Browser\otter-browser.exe" test-qtwebkit

I don't know if that was what you meant, but there was no difference regarding issue No 2.

This design is so very wrong....

example

I log in to gmail in private tab and I want to download an attachment. Guess what? It is impossible!
