This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept cookies.

Is this a known issue or a error?

    No repro, this is most likely a bug in the new new new nav aka custom question lists. @MEE you also got it enabled, right? :)

  • @ShadowWizard yes I enabled custom question lists. This seems to be the cause of the error, as has been noted on Meta Stack Overflow too.

This embarrassing bug will be fixed in the next build.

This was only affecting CQL-enabled users because the non-CQL code has a different generator.
