[rt-users] RT 3.6 requires two or three logins with firefox and IE

[Kenneth Crocker]

Alexandr,


	Thanks a bunch. We tried and it worked, of course. I'm wondering if a 
warning should be included for those ORACLE users to be aware of the 
need to for the exclusive session locking. That would save someone a 
whole bunch of time. Why was this not a problem with our 3.4.4 version?
