Hi

I got hit by a small bug but an unpleased one, as it takes me long time to figure it out.

Describe the bug
I made a new user : I checked one role for this user and I mistyped the password and the password-confirm didn't match. When I save my user, page is refreshed, error message is displayed but the role is unchecked. I did several tests and I can reproduce it : it seems that this bug occurred because :

I checked the last role of the list
OR because my role contains a dot "Client.NAME"

Steps To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Go to '/settings/users/create'
Fill name and email
Check the last role, which contains a dot in his name
Mistype password and password-confirm so they don't match
Save user

Your Configuration (please complete the following information):

Exact BookStack Version (Found in settings): BookStack v0.25.1

Thanks !

Thanks for reporting @tpoindessous.

I've confirmed this to occur when a dot is part of the role name. I'll update the issue name to be more specific based on the results that I've found.
