2021-10-05 10:46:29 Akbarkhon Variskhanov description Impish Indri daily Steps to reproduce: 1) Choose any language with a character set outside of ISO 8859-1. In my case, Russian 2) Proceed with installation. Arrive at "Who are you?" screen 3) Type in your name in Russian layout - The "Your username" field is not filled automatically 5) Try typing a username you wish to use - It cannot recognize the characters and won't let you continue. - It will thus complain that usernames should begin with lowercase letters No matter if the letters are lower or upper case, it simply cannot recognize them. User is forced to manually add English or a similar layout that has Latin characters.

Layout is hard-set to English, which solves this issue but creates another issue discussed in bug #1945848. Still, I'll leave the steps required to reproduce below: Steps to reproduce: 1) Choose any language with a character set outside of ISO 8859-1. In my case, Russian 2) Proceed with installation.
