Gateway - switching between characters broken

After this latest patch, switching between characters in the Gateway causes the gateway to crash and you have to reauthenticate.

Steps to reproduce the error:
Log in.
Select a character
Select change character at the top left
Select new character
As the gateway tries to lad the new character a box pops up that reads: Disconnected from Gateway. Invalid request made by browser.

Browser - latest version of Google Chrome
Windows 8 Pro

    I had the same problem before the patch. It was when I switched from a character on one server to another on a different server. But now it is fixed with this patch.

    Chrome disconnects for me too when switching characters...

    However, IE 9 is NOT disconnecting when switching so I'm using that right now...

    Just tested it using Firefox, works fine and my previously inaccessible character (due to the apostrophe in the name) now loads just fine. I switched several times, and experienced no problems. Well done!

    Using Firefox, problem is there for all characters. No apostrophes in names or anything.

    Technically, it is not "still" broken, as it was working up until yesterday's maintenance.

    It is broken "again". There are much more recent threads about the issue, and the devs are aware.

    This is broken for me too. Does not work on in Chrome on my Win 7 desktop or my Galaxy S2 phone or my Nexus 7 tablet. Only way to switch between characters is to log out and log back in again.
