Details

When I try to log in to Bugzilla using Mozilla, I get the error: "The e-mail address you entered (stephe@wenet.net) didn't match our minimal syntax checking for a legal email address. A legal address must contain exactly one '@', and at least one '.' after the @, and may not contain any commas or spaces." My email address in the URL looks like "Bugzilla_login=stephe%40wenet%A9net". If I use NN4 to log in, it works ok, and my email address in the URL looks like "Bugzilla_login=stephe%40wenet.net". I would have to say that the %A9 that Mozilla uses is wrong. To reproduce, log out of Bugzilla and try to enter a new bug. Tested with Mozilla 101406 on Linux.

reaper: if it works for you, you mark it WORKSFORME, not INVALID. This has actually been seen by several people, although nobody can work out why.
I am reopening this bug since it is still happening to me with Mozilla 101506 on Linux. I am not making this stuff up, and I think it is an abuse of Bugzilla to so carelessly mark a bug INVALID. I could not even to use Mozilla to comment on this bug since I cannot log in. I had to resort to NN4.

hmm ... my bad, I thought this was related to the the faulty builds the other day that didn't allow ANYONE to log into bugzilla. That's why I marked it INVALID - lesson learned for me .... still, a lot of people are not seeing this bug, so if you're around on tuesday, let's meet on #mozillazine, grab some linux folks, and see if we can make this one go away ....
Sigh. Now I find that this is an invalid bug after all. It turns out the problem was my character coding was set to Armenian which is strange since I never set that myself. What is even stranger is that Mozilla would keep switching back to Armenian no matter how many times I chose Western and my default character code in Preferences is Western. In any case, I created a new profile, and the problem went away.
