White screen after logging in

It definitely still happens but I haven't tried to pinpoint when yet.

I am back on this project in the next day or two and will report back then.

This is still happening but there seems to be no pattern.

Sometimes it happens after I have been auto logged out and try to log back in (regardless of if I enter the right password or now), but sometimes it doesn't happen.

Also, sometimes it happens when I freshly navigate to the site and try to log in, without having been recenly auto logged out.

I haven't had a chance to properly debug yet.

In the drupal watchdog log I have these two messages one after the other:

Session opened for username.
Session automatically closed for username by autologout.

I was wondering about that too - and this as a possible solution.

I tried for a while today to work out how to reproduce the error reliably so I could test and had no luck.

I will try again tomorrow (along with the patch), I am doing a lot of work on this project this week.

I'm not sure why exactly the session would not be clearing but if it wasn't, then the check against autologout_last could potentially give this unexpected result.

However, in this case, after checking the time left the dialog should pop up right?

Another thing I see is in the js:

          paddingTimer = setTimeout(confirmLogout, localSettings.timeout_padding);

This means that confirmLogout could possibly be called without ever seeing the dialog, but in my debugging it seems that timeout padding is always 15 seconds and the process of logging in and getting the white screen is no where near that long (although I am checking the timeout padding value at the php level, not the js level).

Plus the only use of the autologout_ahah_logout url as far as I can tell is via ajax so to end up on that page means there is something going wrong.

I really want to know the exact cause of this, it's bugging me :)

Anyway, I'm just going to apply your patch now and see if the problem stops.

Generally it happens to me every morning the first time I log into the site but then not again if I try to reproduce it, so I should know in the next day or two if it has stopped it.

After upgrading to dev I see the whole hook_user_login() is new and maybe that session cleanup could help things.

Maybe I will first try latest dev without the patch and then if it still happens, with the patch.

I haven't seen this issue for a few days and I usually see it every day so I think updating to the latest dev has fixed the issue.

Closing for now and I will reopen if it comes back.

Also, feel free to reopen if you want to commit your patch from #6, but it doesn't seem to be needed.

I have had this happen again twice this week, although it is still definitely happening less often than before.

I will try the patch out and see if it helps and doesn't ahve any negative effects.

Here is a new version that applies to latest dev. Same functionality.

In my case I don't think so.

I don't remember seeing any ajax urls like that and the site doesn't really have much in the way of ajax functionality anyway.

Today I have seen the error again, with the patch.

It doesn't happen all the time though and I don't know how to reliably reproduce it.
