I just noticed that i can flag a question for moderator attention without providing a comment (Button Flag Question is enabled).

When i click the button i get the red error box "An error occured during flagging" and the server returns a 500 - Internal Server Error.

Here are the steps to reproduce:

  1. Open a question
  2. Flag question to open flagging dialog (Button Flag Question is disabled)
  3. Select a flag option (as example "it is spam")
  4. Select "it needs moderator attention"

These steps result in that the Flag Question button is enabled, without providing any comment for the moderator.

I can only reproduce this on Meta. Stackoverflow seems to work as expected.

Flagging enabled without comment

Output Developer Tools (Chrome)

    It's only on Meta as they didn't roll out the change in the flagging system.

  • Misleading title - you didn't actually raise a flag. Also I cannot reproduce this in Firefox.

    @Bolt step #3 is crucial, sure you followed it? :)

    Reproduced by me (Firefox 21, Windows 7). The button is correctly disabled if you click the other option under flag for moderator attention; without clicking other, the button stays enabled.

We had a duff check in JavaScript for this particular bit.

Don't you love 1 character fixes?

Anyhow. Fixed.

    While you're at it, another dish for you this time in the close dialog: close --> off topic --> choose any --> click "Closing" to get back --> button still enabled, no close reason selected. Submitting result in error. :-/

    @ShaWizDowArd - Thanks. Fix is in the oven. Should be served in the next 5 minutes or so.
