Yes, I can reproduce this over at [try.discourse.org](http://try.discourse.org) following the steps provided by @alex21. I created a new account for `@joma.ro`. I then clicked on `@jomaxro`’s avatar next to a topic on `/latest`, clicked the larger avatar from the user card, and landed on `@joma.ro`’s profile page instead of `@jomaxro` as expected. cc @sam
