Description

[QA]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

I am using Bugzilla 2.18 on windows. I get an error message whenever I use three
Characters of user id in CC Field or reassign field. I also get this error if I
use "*" in those field to populate them with list of all the users.

This is the error message:

 process_bug.cgi: Argument "" isn't numeric in numeric gt (>) at
data\template\template\en\default\global\hidden-fields.html.tmpl line 46.




Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. open a new bug
2. type * in the CC field
3. Commit the bug 

Actual Results:  
in the next page you will have list of all the users populated in the CC field
and at the very top of the page, before the "This is Bugzilla", you will see an
error.

This is the error message:
process_bug.cgi: Argument "" isn't numeric in numeric gt (>) at
data\template\template\en\default\global\hidden-fields.html.tmpl line 46.

Expected Results:  
no error

I don't see this.  Exactly which version?

Comment 2

[:glob ✱]

confirming, i see the error with iis (on the page) and with apache (in the error
log).

Attachment: v1

the root cause of the problem is the "dontchange" field only exists for
change-several-bugs.  i tried to exclude it with little success (other weird
side effects), so this patch ensures that we only do an integer comparison for
fields that exist in %mform.

Approved for 2.18 branch only.  Trunk will be fixed by the patch on bug 238878,
which this one conflicts with.
