Hi DB-Des

This happens when we send the token request with grant type as authorization code and empty scope parameter i.e. without a value.
Based on the RFC, Dropbox should be ignoring parameters they don't recognize as valid, not failing the request.
Last para of RFC 6749 - The OAuth 2.0 Authorization Framework
