            Oh my. I thought we were fairly current. Glad you're trolling the comments. Thank you. I will upgrade ASAP.

            dave19 - sorry for the hassle. You should look at upgrading to a later version - Confluence 5.6.6 was released 4+ years ago. Let us know if there is anything we can do to make the upgrade easier for you.

            This is happening to me right now in Confluence version 5.6.6.

            Does "RESOLVED" mean fixed in the code or user must do a workaround (e.g., view profile to activate in autocomplete user lists)?

            Also, would be nice to have a field above called something like "Resolution Notes" so I don't have to troll through all these hit-or-miss Comments. Ugh.

            Sweet!!!

            I couldn't repro the Mel case either, but with the fix now on EAC I tested all the cases that had been causing me the most grief and they are fixed. Thanks.

            Would be good to QA this one with CONF-23727

            I haven't been able to reproduce this for Mel, but have been able to reproduce (and fix) for Ted Tencza, Bryan Rollins and Shihab. In these cases there is a common prefix between the firstname and either the last name or their username. The fix is up on EAC now.

            Hit this issue for Melanie Carasso.

            • Searching for Mel - did not find her.
            • Searching for Melani - found her.
            • Searching for Melanie - did not find her.

            Ted Tencza added a comment - Hit this issue for Melanie Carasso. Searching for Mel - did not find her. Searching for Melani - found her. Searching for Melanie - did not find her.

            We are seeing the same issue where a user can't be found by typing their full name but their username will show them (due to the username being unique).

            Also Abdullahi Abduljabar on EAC, with a similar situation to Ted. Once you type in the second L of Abdullahi you end with no results found.

            Autocomplete seems to work for usernames on these users though as a work around.

            Am working on this issue now

            I also just hit this issue for Shihab as well as Ted Tencza on EAC

            What is weird about Ted's case:

            • Searching for "Te" produces Ted Tencza in the autocomplete drop-down
            • Searching for "Ted" finds no matching results

            I believe this is actually a duplicate of CONF-6404. The suggested workaround would be to view their profile. Either the user can view it themselves, or an admin can view their profile.

            In our case we are using Google logins, however the user we are having an issue with was added as an external user. However we are not having issues with other users that were added as external users.

            In the case of Studio, we're using Crowd.

            A related issue came to my attention recently. Can anyone who has reported this please let me know if you are running any form of external user management? Crowd, Ldap or similar?

            This is a terrible issue, there is only one developer out of a list of developers that can't be added to the watch list because of this issue and he is the one I need most on the list.

            This one really kills me daily. Again today with "Bryan Rollins".
