New update by chipx86 For Beanbag, Inc. ▸ Review Board ▸ Ticket #4929 I'm not able to reproduce this. Are you an admin on the server? If so, can you get me a copy of the backtrace from the reviewboard.log file? Status: - New + NeedInfo

Thanks for looking into this matter, I was able to figure out the root cause for this issue, had a username with unsupported characters. I am unable to figure out how to prevent users from adding such usernames by accident. I.e., when publishing a review request, if by mistake one adds a non existing username in the people field, this username is automatically added as a new user. Is this a bug? is there a way to prevent this matter?

Interesting. That should only be able to happen when Review Board is connected to LDAP or Active Directory. If an unknown user is referenced on a review request, Review Board will ask the LDAP/AD server if it's aware of the user. If the server says it is, Review Board creates a local entry. Sounds like that's what's happening, for some reason. Are you using LDAP/AD? If so, is that username present in it? Can you show me what the invalid characters are?
