Pulling my hair out implementing form validation

Thought I had heard murmurs that this was fixed in 1.7.1. Sorry for the misdirection.

*bump* Anyone..?

I think this is a bug.

Try commenting out the following in the Form_validation.php file.

Code:

if ( ! in_array('required', $rules, TRUE) AND $result !== FALSE)
{
    return;
}

(it's around line 670)

How did you get on?
