(Bugzilla :: Bugzilla-General, defect)

Description

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/49.0.2623.112 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce:

When we start typing 'players' in the assignee or qa or cc field, you don't get any autocomplete choices, but if we type in the complete '[e-mail]', then we do get an autocomplete choice. 


Actual results:

It is showing the inactive user in autocomplete list and able to assign the bug to the inactive user user.


Expected results:

It should not show the inactive user in autocomplete and not able to assign the bug to the inactive user.

This is expected. The code is explicitly implemented this way.

    else {    # try an exact match
        # Exact matches don't care if a user is disabled.

Could you please share the script name, so that I can modify the logic there.

Bugzilla/User.pm.

The rationale is that some accounts are mailing-lists, and you don't want anyone to log in using this account. But you still want emails to be sent to the mailing-lists. So this code must stay, or you won't be able to use mailing-lists anymore.
