Description Rafal Rzepecki 2003-08-17 19:36:50 UTC
I was trying to create a bugzilla account some time ago. As my e-mail I have 
entered my primary address, divide at users sourceforge net, and 
Rafa\lstroke Rzepecki as real name, where in place of \lstroke I have entered 
the actual character, (that is, l with a stroke). The activation e-mail never 
reached me, and the password reminder e-mails don't either. I think this has 
something to do with that lstroke, because this account I created with l instead 
of lstroke and it does work. 
I would be grateful if someone could confirm it, and if some bugzilla 
administrator could delete the b0rked account, so that I could change my 
address here to my primary one. Of course I would be glad to see this fixed. 

Reproducible: Didn't try
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Select new account creation in bugzilla. 
2. Enter some international character in realname. 
(The case might be that latin1 works; lstroke is latin2, so try something 
different than latin1.) 
Actual Results:  
The account is broken and I cannot access it. 
I didn't try to reproduce it, because I don't want to mess up users database, 
but if someone wants me to, I could (I think I have a spare e-mail account 
somewhere). 

Expected Results:  
The account should work normally, or it shouldn't accept a real name it cannot 
proccess. 

The browser I use is Konqueror 3.1.1 on kdelibs 3.1.2.

Thank you for filing this bug, there was an issue with the database with
a borked user and now I know where from and how it happened. The borked account
will be deleted.
