Description David Ayers 2010-08-06 21:53:38 UTC 
When unlocking the screen with a user who's full name contains unexpected characters like "David <br> & <span> Pezi" the name is misrendered as "%R".
Comment 1 William Jon McCann 2011-03-06 07:33:14 UTC 
heh, that's because the lock dialog theme format used %R to represent "real name".  This theme format is gone now and hopefully so is this bug.
