Trac refuse to add attachments

[anonymous]

This is obviously bug in bug tracker configuration. Here is error message which trac displays when it fails to attach file.

If you think this really should work and you can reproduce it, you should consider reporting this problem to the Trac team.

Go to http://trac.edgewall.org/ and create a new ticket where you describe the problem, how to reproduce it. Don't forget to include the Python traceback found below.

There is more problems with trac. It tends to lose session. Steps to reproduce:

1. Login. This proceeds just fine and you logged in. 2. Load another page. You are logged out. This may take few page loads.

Because of this bug reporting as anonymous

I believe I finally fixed the attachment thing. I don't think I can do anything about the other thing, that looks like either a trac bug or a browser problem. I'm closing this ticket for now.
