User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR 1.0.3705)
Build Identifier: Bugzilla Version 2.16.3
The login page should trim white space characters from the "E-mail address:"
field before login validation occurs.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to the login page
http://bugs.theinsiders.com/query.cgi?GoAheadAndLogIn=1
2. Paste in your normal, valid email address (say user@company.com)
3. Append a space char to the end of your email address (say user@company.com )
4. Input you normal, valid password
5. Click the "Login" button
Actual Results:
Error text is displayed, like:
The e-mail address you entered(user@company.com ) didn't pass our syntax
checking for a legal email address. A legal address must contain exactly
one '@', and at least one '.' after the @. It must also not contain any of
these special characters: \ ( ) & < > , ; : " [ ], or any whitespace.
Expected Results:
Bugzilla to perform a trim on the email address field before validation.

Alterntatively, the html in the standard footer could be altered to not insert
a whitespace character after the email address of the current user:
See this page:
http://bugs.theinsiders.com/query.cgi
And note this section of text:
Edit prefs | Log out khaynes@theinsiders.com
Displayed by this section of html:
<td valign="middle">
Edit <a href="userprefs.cgi">prefs</a>
| <a href="relogin.cgi">Log out</a> user@company.com
</td>
</tr>
When you perform a copy and paste of the email address (as I and other users
frequently do), a space char is appended to the email address. When you then
paste this string into the "E-mail Address:" field to login, you get the error
described above.
By changing the html to have the </td> flush with the end of the email address,
a whitespace character would not be appended when performing the copy and
paste, like:
<td valign="middle">
Edit <a href="userprefs.cgi">prefs</a>
| <a href="relogin.cgi">Log out</a> user@company.com</td>
</tr>

Yes, duplicate. My repro is slightly different, however the fix described in
161369 will address my repro.
