When typing in the destination email field for an email forwarder, if you include whitespace at the beginning, or end of the destination email address, the entire dialog box goes away and you get an error message and have to start over completely. Whitespace happens a lot especially if one is copying from some other system. (ie. cpanel forwarders)... I would think it should at least display an error while still on the dialog box (before it closes), and ideally, it would just strip whitespace and not error out at all. Is this a known issue? Thanks.

Seems normal behaviour to me as spaces are not valid. So this is not a problem or an issue.
Samen can happen with copying and pasting passwords and other things, people should take care and check what they are doing.
However, your idea of removing spaces in beginning or end automatically might be nice. But this is not the place for it.

I upvoted it for you. It's minor but it would make life a little bit more easier for some.
