Hi,

I was trying to add a note on one of the issues but was not able to do so.  
Following screen appears:

I would appreciate any help.

Thanks,  
Shusil

There was something wrong with Chrome. Shusil managed to post with Safari.  
Thanks for the persistence Shusil !

(For reference, here is the issue in question: [http://na-mic.org/Mantis/view.php?id=3574](http://na-mic.org/Mantis/view.php?id=3574))

I don’t think there is something wrong with Chrome. It is only that Mantis  
has really short session validity, and if you take your sweet time to  
collect the data after you have opened the form, session can time out.  
Result: when you click submit, you get that screen.

Workaround: click back, open new tab, open the bug/note form there, and  
copy-paste content from old tab (with expired session).
