Admin page can't edit ticket type with trailing period

[thom.brooke@…]

If a ticket type has a trailing period (e.g., "Req."), it can't be edited through the Trac Admin interface. You can create the ticket type with a trailing period, or edit an existing ticket type to have one, but once it's there you can no longer modify that ticket type.

Trac displays a "Trac Error" page, which appears to be the ticket type admin page with no CSS (see attached), and an error message as "ticket_type <x> does not exist", where <x> is the ticket type without the trailing period.

The ticket type can be managed through trac-admin. The ticket_type list shows the type with its trailing period. "ticket_type change" can modify the type (e.g., to remove the trailing period).

How to Reproduce

1. From the Admin tab, under "Ticket System" choose "Ticket Types"
2. In "Add Ticket Type", enter a "Name" with a trailing period
3. Press "Add"
4. Observe that the new ticket type is added, with the trailing period
5. Select the new ticket type
6. Observe Trac error page, with error message that ticket type (without trailing period) "does not exist". Which it doesn't.

I haven’t been able to reproduce with TracStandalone and Trac 1.0.3.

What is the path after step(6)? Is it /admin/ticket/type/Name. or /admin/ticket/type/Name?

What web server are you using to run Trac? e.g. apache/win32 with mod_wsgi. Or are you using tracd?
