invalid cookie error

Hello,
I upgraded my TW from version 2.6.0 to version 2.6.5 using
the tip given here:
https://groups.google.com/group/tiddlywiki/browse_thread/thread/9bc8864ff20b1d1e/8362d744d9fbe5be?hl=fr&lnk=gst&q=jonrobson+empty#8362d744d9fbe5be

All went fine except that I had to disable CoreTweak 2.2.0 so that my
HeaderToolbar works.

Now I have a strange "invalid cookie" error popup when opening some
tiddlers. Concerned tiddlers are always the same but I do not see any
reason why those rather than other...

I tried nulking the cookies using the bookmarklet NukeAllCookies but
it doesn't find any cookie.

Help ! What may I have done wrong ??
Thanks

I reported already for weeks that there is a serious problem with
cookie specific tools, like NukeCookis, and CookieManagerPlugin in
that they don't seem to recognize cookies anymore with TW versions
above 2.6.1. Didn't receive any attention on this yet at all. Hope
you're more lucky than me till now.

However, which kind of tiddlers produce your strange 'invalid cookie'
error? Are they in any way related to cookies, like with tabs or
sliders in them?

Beside NukeAllCookies, you could also delete cookies with under
'tools' in Firefox

Hi wolfgang

Thank you for this reply !

By drawing my attention to the kind of tiddler producing the "invalid
cookie" error you provided me an insight on the problem.
Two problematic tiddlers were indeed built using <tabs></tabs>.
Both had in ommon a white space in the writing, ie:
<tabs A title>
<tab A sub-title>
blah
</tab>
</tabs>

Deleting the white space in "A title" solved the issue. I'll check
tiddlers with sliders in them to see if they show the same behaviour.
However, I had no problem with this so far.

Btw, I did not know that tabs had something to do with cookies...
Sorry for my ignorancy... However I remember having delete the cookies
using Forefox's menu recently...

Thnaks you very much anyway !

The syntax you indicated isn't the TW standard <<tabs ....>> macro.
IIRC, that looks like syntax from "InlineTabsPlugin" (I don't recall
the author). If so, then I would suspect that plugin is attempting
it's own cookie handling to track the "current" tab by remembering the
tiddler title... and that plugin is probably failing on spaces in
titles.

In the past

<<tabs "cookie with spaces in the name"
"AAA" "" "AAA"
"BBB" "" "BBB"
>>

worked with spaces in the cookie name.

Since TW version 2.6.1 (?) and/or Firefox 3.5 (?) I found spaces are
not allowed anymore; error "invalid cookie".

Cheers,

Ton

@Eric

You're right !
I have the plugin InlineTabsPlugin in my TW. I once found it on the
lewcid.org website (now off).
It is still possible to find a copy on http://www.tiddlywiki.fr/
