No, the browser credentials aren't invalidated. If you press cancel, you are
still logged in. There is no such thing as logging out with Simple HTTP
Authentication, which is why the "Logout" label is confusing. You can
however login in as another user.

But it is exactly what it does. "Change user" get to a new username and
login box. You can now either enter a new login and password, and the user
is changed, or you can press cancel, and the user isn't changed.

This can hardly be more confusing then having a "Logout" choice that doens't
log you out... :-)
