I try to add Switzerland to my relocation options on Careers. But Careers insist on relocating me to Otero, NM. United States. Switzerland is not accepted.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Enter Switzerland into Relocation Option

    enter image description here

  2. Move Cursor away from that field. Text changes to Otero

    enter image description here

And there is a related less obvious bug. It turns Schweiz (german for Switzerland) or Swiss Confederation (the official name of the country) into Switzerland. Which is great. Unfortunately saving the changes replaces Switzerland with Otero. Probably because the entered values are sent to the location database again.

Steps to reproduc:

  1. Add Schweiz into the same field.

    enter image description here

  2. Move cursor away from that field

    enter image description here

  3. Be happy, and save changes.

  4. Look at profile overview. And see Otero, NM. at the end of the list.

    Sure, it finds some remote region in New Mexico where there is a road named Zurich, but skips an entire country....well done. :)

    Is it a coincidence that Otero County is, like, twenty miles from Area 51? I think not.

Please try again and let us know if the problem is fixed.

It looks like an invalid geolocation entry leaked into our database, we just cleaned it up manually.
