Hello. I’m running the latest version of Kanboard on Linux Mint 19.2 VM. I’m able to create and edit projects, tasks, etc. No issues with any other functionality in KanBoard…_but_…I can’t seem to add any users to the project:

Any user I try to add exists as a valid user on my KanBoard. As you can see, the “Add” button is grey…and this is always the case. No matter the username I add, no matter the role assigned to the user account I’m using (project manager/admin), nor the role assigned to the user I’m trying to add (user/project member/project manager)–I can’t seem to add a user to a project. I was able to add a user to a project before the most recent update. Now I can’t.

Is this a bug? If so, I’m happy to write it up on github…just want to be sure that others are experiencing the same problem.

Also, can more than one project member be assigned to a project? If I am able to successfully add the user to the project, will they then show up as a Project Member?

Thanks,  
Jim

And tested with the same theme you are using, just in case:

Thanks for the reply and the pictures! I figured out what was happening on my side. I think it has something to do with the focus of the box (maybe). When I entered in a valid user, I kept the mouse cursor in the text box and nothing happened. Only when I moved the mouse away did the textbox then search for users of the name I entered. And then the ADD button activated.

All is right with the world again.

Thanks!
