            Bug ID: 422146
           Summary: Konversation allows spaces in nicks and username/ident
                    in the config, which breaks USER
           Product: konversation
           Version: Git
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: konversation-devel at kde.org
          Reporter: kde at fuchsnet.ch
  Target Milestone: ---

SUMMARY
As someone accidentally found out in #konversation: apparently konversation
allows spaces in both nick and ident/username configuration in the identity,
which leads to a broken USER command sent, like 

USER I haveASpace! 8 * :my gecos%0A

which shifts around parameters, so * is taken as the GECOS/Realname

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open the identify configuration
2. Add a nick and/or ident which contains a space
3. Connect

OBSERVED RESULT

Broken USER command sent

EXPECTED RESULT

Spaces should be, if possible, already disallowed in the GUI config and,
additionally, be trimmed before sent.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Any
