Resolution: → invalid
Status: new → closed

As MIME/internet media type syntax don't allow space either in type/subtype, it's not a bug but an actual valid user alert.

Maybe the field name should be more obvious than group & internal, though.

comment:2 by diver, 13 years ago

It's not clear from error description why it failed.

Resolution: invalid
Status: closed → reopened

Reopened, because indeed it must be more clear or simply such error should be avoid to happen.

Fixed in hrev39556, by filter-out space at input.

BTW, it's still possible to paste space or any other disallowed characters into this field.

comment:8 by stippi, 13 years ago

IIRC, BeOS BTextView implementation did filter pasted or dropped text according to the disallowed chars.

comment:9 by axeld, 13 years ago

Even if it doesn't do that, that would certainly make sense - even not allowing to paste at all would make more sense than ignoring the disallowed characters completely.
