= bug description =
I was trying to propose a F20 blocker. I needed to gather information from
multiple bugs, so it took me longer to write the justification. After
finishing and submitting that, I was presented with a login screen. After
logging in again, I was redirected to the proposal form again, but it was
completely empty, all the text that took me so long to write was gone.
(Okay, I'm a smart guy and I had it in clipboard for such case, but if I
had forgotten ... booh.)
= bug analysis =
Seems the login code doesn't care about other variables in the http
request ...
= fix recommendation =
1) If there is such a short login timeout, the user should be warned about
it (e.g. countdown timer on the page) and the page should allow refresh
without submitting the data.
2) Once the login expires, the submitted data should be caried over all
the redirects back to the submission form.
