 The fourth screen of the Tor Browser's 'Configure' wizard gives the user
 the option of either using a standard set of bridges, or entering a set
 they have obtained elsewhere. These options are presented as radio
 buttons, and by default the 'Use provided bridges' button is selected.

 If the user clicks on the box to enter custom bridges, the associated
 radio button is not automatically selected; if the user does not spot this
 or is not aware that they need to choose the second button, clicking
 'Connect' will (probably?) not cause Tor Browser to try the bridges
 entered in the text box. Users may nevertheless think that the bridges
 they have entered actually were tried and found to be
 blocked/faulty/unreachable, when in reality it is the provided bridges
 that don't work.
