Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: ubuntuone-client
I just opened the Ubuntu One preferences and tried to create a new SSO.
I'd forgotten I already had an account with that email address. The
account creation process failed (not unreasonably) and I was presented
with the account creation dialogue with a red exclamation mark next to
both email addresses but no explanation was displayed as to the reason
for the rejection.
I was left looking at a screen with no way forward until it occurred to
me to try the using the email address at the login prompt then pressing
the forgotten password link.
I realise there is a security issue here and it's not a good idea to
reveal that an account exists but anyone who knew the platform would
know that a rejection of the email address without explanation was
caused by an already existing account so I think a meaningful error
message would be a good idea here.
Thanks.
