      • Comment on an issue
      • Start to mention someone by typing e.g. @admin
      • When the mentions bar shows up, clear the entered text fast (e.g. by using backspace) - the mentions bar will stay some time and not instantly close
      • Bug: as soon as the mention expression (@admin) is removed while the mentions bar is still visible, the error dialog pops up
      • Workaround: slowly remove the mentions expression, so that the error bar vanishes, before the @ is removed

            The problem is to do with a lovely method called _isTrailingWitespaceNotGreaterThan(value). The lovely chap(s) who wrote it never bothered to test it, and always assumed that when it was called, there would be some input after the '@'. This isn't the case. 'tis a silly function, and I'm both fixing it and writing tests to prove it works.
