97040 - Period incorrectly assigned

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[goldentiger24]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows 98; Win 9x 4.90)
BuildID:    2001080110

Put the URL in Mozilla, and you get [e-mail] is an invalid e-
mail address.
Put the URL in another browser (IE 5.5 SP1) and you get 
goldentiger24@bigfoot©com is an invalid e-mail address.

Mozilla isn't doing something right, or bugzilla is messed up.  Either way, 
something to look into.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Try to sign up for an account at 
http://www.mozilla.org/quality/help/bugzilla-helper.html with Mozilla
2. Type in a valid e-mail address.  Try to register, and registration will fail.
3. Do steps 1 and 2 with another browser, and registration will succeed.

Actual Results:  Registration failed -- Mozilla
Registration succeeded -- IE 5.5 SP1

Expected Results:  Registration should have succeeded.  The e-mail address was 
valid.  Mozilla returned a © for every period in the form field where the e-
mail address was inserted.  When © was returned by the bugzilla program, 
Mozilla displayed © as . confusing the issue.

Easy workaround, use another browser!  Not the best answer, but it does work.
Right now, I am using IE 5.5 SP1 to enter the bug, just to avoid problems...

When I go to the url mentioned above I got an error that the Mailaddress is
incorrect. Since %A9 correspondends to the Char 169 (Copyright-Sign) and not to
'.' the errormessage is correct and Bugzilla is O.K.

Then I created a new account with the same login ([e-mail] -
you might have received the bugzilla-mail, sorry =) and no problems occured.

From where did you get the %A9-Url ?

Ok.  I started up Mozilla again, 2001080110 is the build, and I went to
http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/createaccount.cgi

I typed the following in at the first box
[e-mail]

I hit "Create", then "Ok" on the following dialog box.  A new page appears, URL
http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/createaccount.cgi?login=goldentiger24%40bigfoot%
A9com&realname=&id=

message is the following
Check e-mail syntax
 
The e-mail address you entered ([e-mail]) 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. It must also not contain any of these special characters: \ 
( ) & < > , ; : " [ ] or any whitespace.

Please click Back and try again.


The bug may have been fixed in another build.  I download the basic build, 
2001080110 from the Win32 area of this page http://www.mozilla.org/releases/ 
the first option.  Most likely it is some sort of character file goof-up, and 
doesn't effect a lot of platforms, or versions, of this program (like when the 
character "F" was not put into the english alphabet in a version of Subspace).
Download URL for this program is below... I think...
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/releases/mozilla0.9.3/mozilla-win32-0.9.3-
installer.exe

Ok I can't reproduce it with 2001081703 Windows 2000 either.

So I guess this was fixed a few weeks ago.
You can now download a nightly build (
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/nightly/latest/ ) or wait for the
0.9.4-release, which should be soon.

I will mark this bug fixed now, if the problem persists with a build >= 20010817
you should reopen it.
