Our site admins are having an issue in Geeklog 1.7: most of the time (but not always), when they try to delete or preview a story, they'll be logged out ... or sort-of logged out. In one case, they get the 'real' Geeklog login screen, indicating they've been logged out. In other cases, they get what looks like a login screen, but the button is missing text (it's just a round blob) and there's no explanatory text. In those cases, the admin isn't really logged out -- they can hit Back and reload the page. But in the first case, they are really logged out and must login again to continue.
We've done/tested the following:
* Deleted all cookies
* Confirmed cookie timeout set to 30 days
* Tried multiple browsers
* Cleared browsers' cache and history
I'm stumped as to where to even look to fix this one -- are cookies created/managed in theme files at all? I wouldn't think so, so changing back to the default theme wouldn't have any impact, correct? BTW, this did *not* happen in Geeklog 1.6.x.
All help appreciated; we're quite stumped.

The second case sounds like an incomplete
re-authentication form[*1] . Double-check that you've updated your language files.
