As for the select 'Any'.. that should read "in any list that has an 'Any XXX' selection, while keeping the reporter as 'Current User'"

As for 'not the jsessionid'...

that should have read "NOTE the jsessionid" and it should be on the step where you select the JIRA project. there is nothing after the jsessionid in the URL after selecting it. Is that correct?

Also, from looking at the home page, the only link that seems to have an extraneous jsessionid encoded into it is the 'Reported Issues' link?

Did you see something about a BoundedFifoBuffer? If so, this is fixed in 2.6.

Else - please attach a screenshot or the stack trace.

org.apache.commons.collections.BufferOverflowException: The buffer cannot hold more than 1 objects.
