double account confirmation & incognito glitch

Reported by nwarsaw...@gmail.com, Apr 6 2016

VULNERABILITY DETAILS
Please provide a brief explanation of the security issue.

When I was going to report a incognito glitch I switched to my personal account from my school account I found this glitch, first I will have to explain the incognito glitch first.  The incognito glitch I believe I found happens when you press switch accounts and go incognito on the switched account the original account couldn't go incognito.  My original account is my school account if that helps.  When I switched accounts I still had the switched account open and the little icon of my school account in the toolbar didn't change to my personal account (I am talking about the icon that pops up in front of the chrome sign on the toolbar when you have multiple accounts from the switch accounts feature).  And when I checked the tab that the account pops up in right next to the collapse window button it showed my school account but the circle on the top right of the new tab if you open one showed my personal account and it says I am sending this to you on my personal account.  My chrome version is. I have a windows computer with intel core i3 if that helps.My personal is nwarsaw711@gmail.com and my school account is s603106@ewrsd.k12.nj.us.  This glitch could allow hackers to view your browser and access both accounts comprising them.

thank you for your time-   Neil

Thanks for the report.

Unfortunately I don't entirely understand the report, you might consider taking a screenshot and highlighting in it what you think is wrong.

It sounds like you might have logged into your personal account from a profile that was associated with your school account? If that is the case, then this behavior might be normal.
I had a "person one" separate chrome file so the little icon of you shows up on the toolbar in front of the chrome icon so, when I switch accounts in the chrome file on the toolbar of my school account the taskbar doesn't update and neither does the name of the account next to the minimize button but in a new tab it shows your other icon of the switched account and you can see both emails which is a big concern.
