      NOTE: This bug report is for JIRA Server. Using JIRA Cloud? See the corresponding bug report.

      I have replicated this on JIRA 6.3.12

      Steps to Replicate

      1. Create a user (e.g. jsmith).
      2. Change its username (e.g. to john.smith)
      3. Go to any issue and select john.smith as either the assignee or the reporter.
      4. Click on the History tab.
      5. The change will display the username jsmith instead of john.smith:

      Expected Result
      Since the user key is only used internally by the application, we should not expose this information to end-users. The current username should be displayed instead (john.smith).
