           Summary: Change in Private Browsing behavior
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: Macintosh
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.6
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: New Bugs
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: khooyp at cs.umd.edu


There appears to have been a change in Safari's Private Browsing behavior between the r94061 and r94145 nightlies in the following scenario:
1) log in to some website (e.g., facebook.com or gmail.com);
2) turn on Private Browsing;
3) reload the website in step 1.

In r94061, reloading in step 3 be logged out as if cookies were reset; whereas in r94145, reloading in step 3 would remain logged in.

Looking at the SVN commit logs between these revisions, there doesn't seem to be any that explicitly calls out such a change, though r94093 appears to be related to cookies. Is this an expected change? I much rather prefer the old behavior as it is more thorough in ensuring privacy.
