no matter whether i allow galeon to accept cookies from all, this, or
no sites, selecting Tools-Cookies-Accept Cookies from this site does
*not* do what it should. While the Block cookies from this site
command works by entering the site into the Cookies Sites table with
Blocked, the allow... command does no such thing; it doesn't enter
the current site in any way.
This is 1.2.7-5 from unstable. should i file a bug?
1.2.6-2 displays the same behaviour, or something very much like it. My
settings are Always accept plus Warn before accepting. I then block
99+% of cookies that are offered.
I picked a site that was in my cookies sites list as blocked, went to
it and selected Accept cookies from this site. The site was then
deleted from the list of cookies sites. The documentation suggests it
should have had its status changed from Blocked to Accept, but the
actual result is acceptable to me. The next time I visited the site I
was asked if I want to accept the cookie as if it were the first visit.
I doubt there's any point filing a bug. Upstream considers galeon 1.2.x
to be obsolete and probably won't bother to fix such a relatively minor
issue. It would be more productive to help make sure the gnome2-based
galeon2 behaves better.
