Description:
The "Limit to Hosts Matching:" field in the Login tab of Add Account under Users and Privileges does not allow hostnames with both letters and numbers. For example, mymachine3 gives an Invalid Host Specification error message. 

Interestingly, clicking through the error dialog seems to create the account in spite of the reported error.

How to repeat:
Launch Workbench. Connect to server. Under Management, select Users and Privileges -> Login tab -> Add Account.

In "Limit Hosts Matching:" field, type mymachine3. 

When the 3 is entered, the red X box shows and then clicking Apply generates the Invalid Host Specification error box.

Suggested fix:
Revise filter on hostname field to allow legal mixed alpha-numeric machine names.
