mismatch between instructions and actual behaviour for classes attended #11

the output states that users can input a blank to skip entering the classes attended field, but when a blank is actually inputted, the application disallows it.

Team's Response

We believe the bug can only be recreated using a whitespace character and not the expected ASCII code 32 blank space character that is found on your normal keyboards. It is impossible to input the proposed "blank" character unless it has been copied from online or inputted using a pre-programmed macro key.

Example 1: Using a tab character skips the field:

Example 2: Using a space character skips the field: image.png

Other than the 2 characters used above, no other Ascii printable character found on a conventional office keyboard would produce a blank space in that field, hence the issue is not in scope. In fact, to recreate this bug, we largely believe that users can only do so through the highly intentional method as mentioned above which could arguably be considered self-sabotage.
