Item8920: Bug when registering a new user
Priority: Normal
Current State: No Action Required
Released In: n/a
Target Release: n/a
When registering a new user, if you choose a password with less than 8 characters you get an error message. Upon entering all the details again with a new password with 8 characters you are redirected to the login screen upon clicking submit. This does not register a new user, but is confusing as it does not let you know that you have not registered.
This also occurs if you don't enter a mandatory field when registering, looks like it's related to the error page/clicking back in the browser?

I've seen this on 1.0.x, need to confirm on 1.1

I can't recreate the problem on 1.1.4, or on 1.1.3 on the foswiki.org site, and on trunk, the new Javascript validations warn the user that the password is too short and doesn't allow the registration attempt. Setting this to no action required.
