Hi Sebastien!

Thank you for your reply on my issue. I was wondering about the process
for this trouble report.

Yes, I still have this issue and my "long" username contains '&' and my
"nickname" contains '-'. I have not tried lucid yet, but I am to try it as
soon it is released (just a few days left!).

I wish you good luck and please notify me if you found something and in
witch release it will be corrected.

Best Regards,
Anders Lindström
