Affected Version: Gerrit V2.11.2

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Configure Gerrit to use LDAP authentication with
   [auth]
        type = LDAP
   [ldap]
        :
        accountFullName = cn
        accountEmailAddress = preferredIdentity
        :
2. Enable full text search via
[suggest]
        fullTextSearch = true

3. Try to add someone else to a change visible in the Gerrit web GUI via starting to type and pressing enter when the suggested user is found

What is the expected output? 

The user should be added to the list of reviewers.

What do you see instead?

Username <usermail>  does not identify a registered user or group

But if the <usermail> is deleted from the input field, the user can be added to the list of reviewers by clicking on the [Add]-button.

This behaviour can only be observed if you try to add specific users for review. Other suggested users can be added as expected.

Please provide any additional information below.
We have a Gerrit installation that uses tomcat6 on RHEL6 as application server. The problem can be observed if you try to add members of the Administrators group (mapped to an LDAP-group) for review.
