I said it wouldn't be a big problem because if I'm not logged in already, I usually do it to reply to a message, and in that case you would be sent back to the right issue page (issueXXXXX).  It wouldn't work for searches or one of the "summary" query though, because it would redirect to the "issue" page.

> Ezio: but you would have a green bar "You are logged out - clear this message", right?

Yes

> And if you follow the "clear this message" link, you get to a URL with no action, right?

Yes, but I usually just click on the logo on the top-left (note that logging out already redirects to the list of issues).

I only encountered this problem while switching accounts on my test tracker (so logout+login), it never happened to me on the regular tracker (probably because I never had to combine login/logout/search there).
