User is not shown in autocomplete window when inviting member to group
Summary
Cannot invite Alexand
to group.
User is not shown in autocomplete window, even though we enter exact username. Partially matching usernames are shown.
Steps to reproduce
- Go to the group's Member page
- Enter @Alexand
- A list of
Alexander
s show on the auto complete. I cannot invite @Alexand to the group as he is not appearing. - To add insult to injury, the textbox is then cleared out. :(
