404 when changing username then going to user profile

Bug
1

Repro steps:

  1. Change a user’s username.
  2. After successfully changing the username, click on Show Public Profile
  3. It should return a 404 page.

This is so minor. You’ve changed the username so you’ve changed the route to the page. It’s only possible for a moderator to do this.

Will only check if I can oneline fix it, and consider WONTFIX otherwise.

What happens for the user when an admin updates their username? Do their links under the user menu to their profile, preferences, etc. break?

I’ve been facing a similar bug in an authentication plugin I’m working on, a refresh is required to fix things for a user when the plugin updates their username.

@joffreyjaffeux if the fix is more involved, I’m happy to submit a PR as I imagine it would fix things in my plugin too
