           Summary: Cookies inconsistently saved or is caching previous
                    setting even though cookie shows current setting
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 420+ (nightly)

          Priority: P2
         Component: New Bugs

I have a site I'm working on which has some user options that set and read in
cookies.

If you go to the above page in Safari or Webkit and select the Site Options
button at the very bottom you can adjust 2 features. The most noticeable is to
set both to off or both to on when changing them.

What is happening is if you make the adjustment and immediately quit and
relaunch the browser, quite a bit of the time if not all the time, the cookie
has reverted to it's previous setting. I've even had the cookies window open
and watch the cookie values change to 0 for each setting... then restart and
the cookies are back to 1. This doesn't happen when I do the same thing in
Firefox or IE.

The cookies seem to stand a better chance of staying changed if just after
changing the options I proceed to browse to other pages in the site. That seems
to lock it in more. It seems a refresh isn't enough... which is what I do to
the parent window to immediately show that changes that have been made. It
seems that it prefers some manual browsing.

None of this really makes sense since if the cookie is set, it should stay that
way unless otherwise specified.
