Can't view question when the author has been deleted

XMLWordPrintable

    • Severity 3 - Minor

      NOTE: This bug report is for Confluence Cloud. Using Confluence Server? See the corresponding bug report.

      Trying to view a question from a deleted user causes NPE and stacktrace.

      Steps to reproduce:
      1. create user A
      2. ask question as user A
      3. delete user A
      4. view question as admin

      we should check if the same holds true for comments and answers as well.
