Two 1.10.3 sites not truly logging out of the admin panel

[jmcgin51]

On two sites running 1.10.3 (both upgraded from 1.9.4.3), I don't actually get logged out when I click the logout button in the admin panel. It looks like I'm logged out - I get returned to the login page as expected, but if I click the back button in my browser, or if I manually edit the URL to be "http://www.mysite.com/admin", I get right back into the admin panel, without actually logging in again.

It's like the admin session isn't being cleared or something. I thought it was a fluke when the first site did it, but now I have two sites doing it, so I'm wondering if it's something more widespread.

Browser is FF 9.0.1 on WinXP, if it matters.

Ideas?

Thanks!

this problem doesn't occur with cmsms 1.10.3 and Google Chrome or with Firefox 7.0.1 and Windows 7

I've tried to reproduce the problem on a similar system:

1.10.3 (upgraded from 1.9.4.3 >> 1.10 >> ... >> 1.10.3)
FF 9.0.1
Win XP

For me, the CMS MS works just as it should. I've tried the 'back button', manually typing the admin address, even tried going to the 'modules' page - it took me back to the login page every time.

My guess: it's a hosting provider related problem.

Thanks to those who responded!

I tested this morning with Chrome on the same computer, and Chrome behaves correctly. So now it seems to be possibly browser-specific. But scelle says his system works correctly... hmmmm

I can't reproduce this in FF9.0.1 and Chrome 16.0.912.77. Both work fine.

Seen it before though, during beta testing I think, but that was fixed!
Perhaps during upgrade of this website some files didn't transfer correctly... Try to reupload files and do a file checksum

It could be you see a cached browserscreen at this moment... When you refresh the browser, are you still logged in? Or can you open another page in the admin?
