I suppose this could be by design, but haven't seen an update mentioning it:

Since yesterday:

1) any activity anywhere in the trade tab immediately forces the screen to the minerals section. For instance, if I use a grid console, as soon as I use it, I'm immediately shown the minerals screen. Returning to the artifact section only returns me to the first page of artifacts, even if I was formerly on the last page, and I have to page back to where I began.

2) locking any minerals before selling only locks the minerals for a single sale. I accidentally lost an entire cargo of saved-up kurenite this way before I noticed it wasn't remaining locked.

3) not sure if this was part of the "are you sure you want to sell" yes/no or not, but selling ship parts does not bring up the "are you sure?" screen. For me it really doesn't matter, but I was surprised to not see the screen after seeing it for awhile for everything else.

4) similar to #1, viewing a single planet and then clicking out of it will immediately return you to the first page of the default planet screen (planets sorted by type), regardless of how you had them sorted or what page you were on when you did the planet view.

What browser are you using?

All of this sounds like cookies have been disabled in your browser. Safari also experiences this.

I use safari and this is exactly what happened to me until I updated the browser, which for some reason seemed to fix most of the problems

I did temporarily set it to "dump all cookies when exiting Firefox," but changed it back to "accept all cookies" (default setting) yesterday, right about when this started happening, I guess (I can now stay logged into FB until physically logging out). So if it's related, it didn't mind me changing the setting but didn't like having it changed back.

I haven't updated the browser in over a week, and it was working fine prior to this with the same browser version installed: Firefox 6.0.

edited: I do have the browser set to not accept third-party cookies, but it's always been set that way. Regardless, would GL be considered third party as it resides in Facebook?

yes, it is more than likely considered a third party cookie...
