That's actually a different tool than I was referring to, but I got the same behaviour. So it is not something caused by the Chrome browser in particular, just my installation of it.

Good suggestion. I did some digging and noticed that Chrome was warning me that cookies were being blocked, even though I explicitly white-listed the site to allow cookies. I also noted some other strange behaviour regarding javascript (allowed it, but I suspect it wasn't functioning). On a hunch, I loaded the site securely (by adding https:// to the URL), and now it seems to behave normally. I have no idea why, but at least it is working again. So thanks for the tips.
