Clearing the Full Name leaves 1 character in Username field

[Sasa Paporovic]

In the user managment component of the control center the possibility exist to create a new user.

Doing this an popup comes up that asks for the type of user account, the full name and the user name.

On giving a name in the full name section the user name section is filled with the same name automatically.

So long so correct.

On realizing a typo a user may whant to whipe out again the names.

Doing this in the full name field cuases also an automatically wiping out of the name in the user name field.

So, long also correct.

The issue is, that one letter keeps in the user name fild, even when the full name field is wiped out complete.

[A screenshot will be attached]

On user account creation not exact treating of the keystrokes may lead to a non working account system. The code there should be get some love.

Steps to reproduce:
1.Start system configuration -> user -> unlock -> create new account
2.Give in the full name field "Angela"
3.See the automatically filling of the filed user name with "angela"
4.Wipe out "Angela" in the full name field
5.See the automatically wiping out in the user filed with the exception of an kept "a"(see screenshot)

Expected:

The user account creating must be teached to handle every user input with care. Also the automatically helps must do their jobs with care.

Usernames on *nix systems are traditionally lower case so it's not a bug for the User Accounts panel to automatically convert a capitalized Full Name to a lowercase username. In fact, adduser (the underlying command) won't accept capitalized usernames by default.

I can confirm the other issue though (about the username field not clearing the final character when the full name field is cleared).

That issue is an upstream one and it would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug to the developers of the software by following the instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME. If you have done so, please tell us the number of the upstream bug (or the link), so we can add a bugwatch that will inform us about its status. Thanks in advance.
