no warning when enter wrong email address

[Pavol Klačanský]

If you enter wrong email, it just keeps checking, so it took me while to figure out that I changed my LP email to different one.

[Jono Bacon (jonobacon)]

Agreed. On one hand we need a check, but we also as a feature need a means to edit previous information added.

[Rafał Cieślak (rafalcieslak256)]

Just a note to this bug: it will be also necessary to strip all spaces and any other whitespace characters from email's ending, as they affect the email's correctness.

Also - how do we determine that an extrainformation entry is an email adress, and that we should check it, as opposed to other credentials (like forums login)?

[Jono Bacon (jonobacon)]

Good question, Rafal, I have filed https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-accomplishments-system/+bug/974558 to track that discussion. This way we can keep this bug focused on being able to press Enter.

[Jono Bacon (jonobacon)]

Right now we are not going to support checking for email addresses, and thus mark this as invalid. We may revisit this in the future though.
