I'm writing you with a question about the Bugzilla 2.18 Edit User page.  Hope
it's an easy one for you:

When I open the Edit User page as a system administrator for a particular user,
I see the right user email address but the wrong user information on the page. 
Example:

URL looks like:

http://ruidosa.csres.utexas.edu/bugs/editusers.cgi?action=edit&user=asmith%40cs.utexas.edu

The page looks like:

This is Bugzilla

Bugzilla Version 2.18
Edit user [e-mail]
	  	
Login name: 	*myloginname*
Real name: 	*myname*
Password: 	*********
(enter new password to change)

The Group access fields and checkboxes seem to be OK.

Apparently, the CGI is pulling the wrong info from mysql or else mysql is
serving up the wrong info.

Does this situation seem probable or even possible?  It occurred after a
complete installation of 2.18 (from a tar file) after saving the datafiles from
our earlier 2.16.5 installation.

I'm writing you three because I see your fingerprints in the CVS log of
edituser.cgi :-)

Thanks in advance for your advice.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.As system admin, click on "Users" in the Edit: footer.
2.Fill in the user's login name (either email addr or substing) and click 'Submit'
3.In the "Select user" box, click on the user's email address that is hyperlinked.

Actual Results:  
Bingo!  We see "Edit" with the correct user name/login and "Login name:" and
"Real name:" with the _wrong_ user info.  *whew*

Expected Results:  
We should see the _right_ login and real name for this user.

Help?

It looks from the CVS logs that [e-mail], [e-mail], and
[e-mail] touched the edituser.cgi recently.  Perhaps they have some ideas?

Thanks!
Bill

Just to note: I can't reproduce this on the tip.

I'll have to also check 2.18.

I cannot reproduce with Bugzilla 2.18, but I never upgraded from 2.16.5 so I
don't know if something is wrong in checksetup.pl when upgrading. mkanat, maybe
can you answer this question? If there is nothing wrong in checksetup.pl, then
you can invalidate this bug.

I can't make this happen if I upgrade from 2.16 to 2.18.

It's probably either a problem with the browser or a problem with local
customizations of Bugzilla.

Thank you for checking.  I will check into our local configuration.  I probably
messed something up in the migration from 2.16.5 to 2.18.

An appreciative Bugzilla user,
Bill

A follow-up:

This problem disappeared as mysteriously as it appeared.  Now the 2.18 "Edit
user" dialog displays the correct information.  I know not why the original
problem appeared nor why it disappeared, but it's gone and all is well.

Thanks again for your attention to this Bugzilla.
