Comment:
Tested the patch:
https://core.trac.wordpress.org/attachment/ticket/52976/52976.2.diff
Environment:
- WordPress: 7.0-RC2
- PHP: 8.3.30
- Browser: Chrome
- Database: MySQL 8.4.8
- OS: Ubuntu
Testing Method:
- Update the user's email from user at example.com to different case
variations such as:
- USER at example.com
- User at example.com
- User at example.com
- Check if an email notification is triggered for this change
- Apply the patch
- Repeat the same steps with the above variations
- Verify that no email notification is triggered after applying the patch
Also tested programmatically using the wp_update_user() function, and it
behaves as expected.
Result:
This confirms that the patch resolves the issue. If the update only
modifies the letter case, it should not trigger any notification.
