164522 - trying to resolve a bug as a duplicate of "1111," fails with a silly error

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 269294

(Bugzilla :: Creating/Changing Bugs, defect)

Description

[timeless]

Error  
    
The bug number 103843, is invalid (it is neither a bug number nor an alias to a 
bug number). If you are trying to use QuickSearch, you need to enable 
JavaScript in your browser. To help us fix this limitation, add your comments 
to bug 70907.  

Please press Back and try again.

what's wrong:
* You can't use QuickSearch while resolving bugs.
for bonus points:
* if a number is followed by whitespace and punctuation, ignore them and let 
the poor bugzilla user's intent win over our stubborness.

Steps:
load a bug (this bug will do nicely)
enter "103843," in the resolve this bug as a duplicate of field
click submit.

I don't know when, but this appears to have been fixed.  Ignoring punctuation is
a wontfix because of aliases, but the error message is much more clear and less
silly now.
