Description

Hi there,

I found a mysterious behaviour in the TYPO3 backend.

Way to reproduce the error:
  1. TYPO3 Login as admin "a1" (your account)
  2. Switch user (su) to a second admin "a2"
  3. Switch user (su as "a2") to a third user "a3"
  4. Leave the SU mode from "a3" back to "a2"

No you are "a2"! You are not in the su mode anymore.
So you can not switch back to "a1", which is your account.

Possible solution:
Maybe the SU buttons should be disabled if you are already in the su mode.
