I tried to add a comment to my bug #28686. Being a common user, I could not modify the asignee, that was static text only no entry field. When I comitted my addition, I was asked for my password, and then told: You tried to change the Assignee field from unassigned@gcc.gnu.org to __UNKNOWN__, but only the assignee of the bug, or a sufficiently empowered user may change that field. This effectively prevents me from adding comments to the bug report. Another thing that might be related: When I log in on the home page or through the "Log In" link on any report I get to the home page, and my status is logged in. When I jump from the home page to a specific bug, by entering its number in the form and clicking "Find" or by directly entering its URL, my status is back to not logged in, as I have the "Log In" link in my footer. It would be useful to have this bugzill as a Product as well. gcc is definitely not what this is really about, but I found no better alternative.
Try deleting all cookies related to gcc bugzilla, there was a change in setup recently.
No luck there. But here it works! strange!
Clearing browser cache helped. Maybe bugzilla did not mark a page as changed that had in fact changed for some reason. I'm ready to provide additional information if I can. Just ask. Unfortunately it is too late to record the network traffic.

It happened to me very often in Mandriva's. Perhaps it has been fixed in a recent version. If you are interested in seeing it fixed, please report it to http://www.bugzilla.org/.
