submitted dates resets when switch to a different page

[Gloria Gu]

The submitted "from or to date" doesn't seem to be honored when switch to different language.

How to reproduce:

From Admin -> Overview

change the From or To date by picking up the different date, for example, today is 9/24/2014
The original From is 9/1/2014
The original To is 9/24/2014

Change From to 9/4/2014
Change To to 9/20/2014

click Submit

Make sure it is saved.

Now click other tab , for example Admin -> volumes

Go back to Admin -> Overview, you will notice that the saved From date 9/4/2014 is changed to 9/1/2014, the saved To date 9/20/2014 is changed to 9/24/2014.

Same issue in Project -> Overview as well.

Expected:

The saved From and To dates should not get changed when switch to a different page at least for the session.

I'm not seeing the dates being persisted at all, even when just switching to a different page. For example, set the From date to 9/4/2014 and submit. Then switch to another page such as Images, and switch back to Overview. The From date is reset. So this might not be related to the language.

Justin, you are right. the query string after click submit: http://myhost:8888/admin/?start=2014-09-15&end=2014-09-25, if move to different page, the query string lost, that might the reason. But I think at least the query date should be persistent at least for the session. Otherwise, it is really annoying.

[Justin Pomeroy (jpomero)]

I agree Gloria. The dates should probably be persisted in the session.

    This patch adds the usage start and end dates to the user's session
    so they are saved while navigating between pages.
