I would think the bug would be nesting forms in the first place, I
believe that's invalid html, form tags should not be nested.
> When there are nested <form> in the html and when a submit
> button is pressed, the resulting http request contains the
> "_s" and the "_k" hidden fields many times (once for each form).
> As a result the http fields in the request are holding
> collection of strings rather than just strings (the field
> dictionary object is too smart !) In such situations, Seaside
> is not able to retrieve the session and shows the expiration screen.

> I found that the consequences of the bug can be in corrected
> WAKom>>convertRequest:
> where the request fields can be computed differently. The
> implementation in the attachment eliminates the false expiration.
>
> This does not occur in VisualWorks where the computation of
> the request fields are always and consistently available as
> collections or strings.
>
> The attached change set includes both the fix and a test
> component with nested <form>
