[keycloak-user] E-mail verification required action issues

Hey all,

I got a couple of problems with the e-mail verification required action.
1. If it's turned on in the realm settings ("login tab") and I change
the account e-mail (in "manage account"), I can't get back to the app.
2. While the (?) tooltip text  in the realm settings clearly says
"Require the user to verify their email address the first time they
login.", the feature includes verification with each e-mail change
(not only the first login).  If that's expected behavior, it would be
nice to have it more clear in the (?) tooltip text.

For  1., the steps to reproduce are:
1. Download latest KC, unzip it, start it.
2. Configure logged-in user (admin) e-mail (in "manage account") and
the Email realm settings. Make sure e-mail sending works.
3. Go to "manage account" and change your email.
4. Click "Back to Security Admin Console"
5. You should see the "EMAIL VERIFICATION" page
6. Click on the verification link in the e-mail
7. You should see the "YOU ARE ALREADY LOGGED IN" page, click on the
"« Back to Application" link. This brings you back to step 5. instead
of the admin console.

And this is the error itself, you will find yourself in an endless
loop defined by steps 5 - 7.

I can create a JIRA for that, just wanted to make sure this is a bug,
not a feature.

Thanks!

Viliam
