Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 97662

(Bugzilla :: Bugzilla-General, defect)

Description

[Ady Deac]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040713
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040713

If I disable a user I can still assign bugs to him. Is it an optional thinggie?
Because if I disable an account, for instance, I do it because the user is not
working for me anymore.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.disable an account
2.assign a bug to him
3.wait for the bug to be solved
4.die waiting ;)

Actual Results:  
who knows? who whill remembers about me? ;)

Expected Results:  
warn the user of the impossibilty to solve the bug by the assigned person
maybe it can be a good ideea to make a "Sanity check" about this, to force the
Project Admin to reassing the tasks
