New issue 21 by david.s....@gmail.com: Whitespace in User ID causes odd
error
http://code.google.com/p/openqwaq/issues/detail?id=21
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Create a user with a space character at the end of their user id
2. Log in using the Win32 client
3. Open a forum
What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expect to be able to log in and use the forum, but instead get an error
saying "MessageNotUnderstood: UndefinedObject>>form OpenQwaq must quit."
What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
OpenQwaq 1.0.01 on Win32
Please provide any additional information below.
This originally happened by accident when using a csv file to upload users
in bulk, but we since found it can also happen when adding users manually.
Even more strangely, the problem doesn't seem to affect the Mac client,
only the Win32 one. I'd be interested to know how this can be, since I
thought it was bit-identical even on different platforms.
Obviously, some judicious application of trim() functions would solve the
problem.
