I created a custom group and I’m adding users to it. The add members field won’t seem to autocomplete for a user that has a \_ in their username. I was able to go to that user’s admin page and add them to the group that way, but it wouldn’t work from the group settings page. Is this a known issue?

I am unable to repro this issue, can you provide me with a screen shot?

It seems to be working now - this must have been fixed since the version I was having the issue on.
