Ezio is correct that the problem is having an 'action=xxx' in the url while 
doing a login. Logout -- back to main page but with url such as
http://bugs.python.org/issue?@action=logout&@pagesize=50&@startwith=0
instead of simple
bugs.python.org
(how I usually start from history) is the obvious way to trigger it.
I am not sure how I triggered this. Perhaps I hit 'logout' instead of 'your 
details'.

Why is 'action=logout' in the url? It has already happened and is not to be 
repeated. The remainder is not needed as it is the default. In this case, 
http:bugs.python.org would be enough, except maybe for a page to return to. Or 
the action should be, if anything 'login', not logout.

The other way to trigger the problem is to go to site, do a search, and get to 
a url is something like the following, with most invisible
http://bugs.python.org/issue?%40search_text=module&ignore=file%3Acontent&title=&%40columns=title&id=&%40columns=id&stage=&creation=&creator=&activity=&%40columns=activity&%40sort=activity&actor=&nosy=&type=&components=&versions=&dependencies=&assignee=&keywords=&priority=&%40group=priority&status=1&%40columns=status&resolution=&nosy_count=&message_count=&%40pagesize=50&%40startwith=0&%40action=search
including the 'action=search' at the end. Now remember "Oh, I forgot to login" 
and hit login. Red message. This is a bug in my opinion.

Here, perhaps the url is needed to return to the page, but does the search need 
to be repeated? Even if so, why are multiple actions prohibited?

I usually don't bother or remember to login until I am on an issue page, whose 
url has no action, and decide I want to comment or change headers. Or I go 
directly to an issue page from the Friday report. So I am probably wrong about 
problem being new, except to me.
