STR: - Load bugzilla.mozilla.org/new-bug - Type a user's nickname shortcut into one of the People fields (such as CC), like :ted.mielczarek - Switch focus before autocomplete suggestions appear, so that the field text is just the nickname - Fill out the rest of the form and click Submit Expected results: - Nicknames get auto-completed if possible, like enter_bug.cgi does Actual results: - Error page displays: "The name :ted.mielczarek is not a valid username. ..."

I like the new-bug page’s UX enhancements, such as the autocomplete and optimized 2-column layout, but the page is no longer developed and it’s hard to maintain several different forms. Let’s focus on improving the existing New Bug page.
