464881 - Add possibility to Match Failed page allowing to immediately correct the incorrectly entered field

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 315909

(Bugzilla :: Creating/Changing Bugs, defect)

Description

[Christian Schlotter]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; de; rv:1.9.0.3) Gecko/2008092417 Firefox/3.0.3
Build Identifier: Bugzilla 3.0.4

If an invalid e-mail address is entered into the CC or Assigned To fields on submission of a bug, a simple "Match Failed" page appears which does not allow to immediately correct the invalid fields. Instead it prompts the user to use the Back button of the browser.

One of our users hit this problem and did not know how to return to his original entries. The user therefore had to start the bug entry form again and retype everything.

I think that this shows that it is not immediately obvious how to return to the original entries, although it is stated in the text.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Report a bug
2. Enter an invalid user name into the "CC" or "Assigned To" fields.
Actual Results:  
A "Match Failed" page appears which states:
"Bugzilla was unable to make any match at all for one or more of the names and/or email addresses you entered on the previous page.
Please go back and try other names or email addresses."

Expected Results:  
A "Match failed" page should appear which highlights the invalid entries and which should allow to immediately correct them.
