1161291 - Numbers entered for incoming and outgoing mail server settings changes to weird character.

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Thunderbird :: Account Manager, defect)

Description

[Steffen Johansen]

Attachment: Clearly shows an invalid character, input character was "3".

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3; WOW64; rv:37.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/37.0
Build ID: 20150415140819

Steps to reproduce:

Settings->Account Actions->Add mail account->Manual Config->type in "outlook.office365.com" under IMAP settings and "smtp.office365.com" under smtp settings. This results in the number "3" changing to "쪇", resulting in "outlook.office쪇65.com".

I use English (Australia) language with US keyboard layout, but I have an alternative language as Chinese (this was not active). Running Windows 8.1 64b.


Actual results:

When typing in a number straight after a alphabetic character under incoming/outgoing server settings, it changes to a weird, invalid character. When typing "outlook.office365.com" this results in "outlook.office쪇65.com", and when trying to remove this weird character with a backspace, the next numbers changes "outlook.office쪊쪉.com".


Expected results:

The numbers should have been entered in a valid form.

It did not help to copy the whole sequence either. IE: "outlook.office365.com" from a text editor and into Thunderbird.

Looks like a reboot fixed the problem. Assuming there were local issues on the computer.
