The session stuff is only moved into the database if you chose it to be, and for moodle should not be as the toolkit code piggybacks the moodle session

I wasn't getting anything on create with IE but if I use safari when I click create the editor pop-up contains the moodle login page. That list of what's changed would be useful or more importantly what's changed that's breaking the moodle patch? It looks like anyone using the moodlepatch shouldn't upgrade to the toolkits beta until we can fix this.

I've been testing further and even an older localhost XOT version/installation which didn't have the problem now doesn't display the editor when creating an LO. Also that same older installation now displays the strict standards error when deleting an LO:
