I want to bring a bug to the attention of the newsgroup that I haven't 
been able to track down.  John has asked that I post this here in hopes 
that one of you might be able to identify this issue and submit a patch.

In some cases Radiant is failing to provide validation error messages to 
users.  Instead of providing specific messages tied to the offending 
fields, they only get the one error message across the top of the 
screen.  When that's their only message it comes across like "Oops, you 
goofed.  Now let's see if you're smart enough to figure out where.  Mwaa 
haa haa haaa!" (well, ok different users read things differently).

Now, this doesn't happen in every installation.  I notice a relationship 
depending on whether I'm running radiant via gem or with radiant 
installed in my project's /vendor directory (running from gem works 
fine, installed in /vendor doesn't).  Please note: this is an 
observation and a starting point but I haven't proven anything so far.

By the way, the Radiant Demo (http://demo.radiantcms.org) is missing 
these error messages.

My ticket is here: http://dev.radiantcms.org/radiant/ticket/601
