Problem/Motivation
I noticed the original mentors I set on my profile have gone. I went to the field to add them back again and the autocomplete field never finds certain people for me.
So for example I type this...
or this
and nothing comes up.
I definitely know their usernames are lewisnyman and cottser.
I even type them really slowly waiting for the autocomplete to find anyone with those letters eg. l le lew lewi lewis and it can't find lewisnyman for me at all.
However! It did find Bojhan quite easily after I typed just boj and he is listed, but he's the only person out of my mentors I could find.
Proposed resolution
Help me get my mentors back please. It's really frustrating and I want to promote this feature at sprints and it's super buggy for me.
Remaining tasks
User interface changes
API changes

drummThe autocomplete is case-sensitive, I was able to add "LewisNyman" to your account, with the autocomplete returning just him at "LewisN".
We can take a look at making it case-insenitive, but I think that will have to wait for #1034852: Clean up accounts with case-insensitive duplicate names. This is an entityreference field, so we can do whatever that module does well.

emma.mariaThank you! I just took what was in their url which is always lowercase. It would be good to fix sometime in the future.

jenlamptonI'm also having this problem, and I don;t think it's related to case insensitivity. I'm trying to add starbow (https://www.drupal.org/user/33290) and he's also not coming up on the autocomplete. Also, saving the form (not waiting for the autocomplete to complete, since it's really slow) doesn't seem to work either. starbow just keeps getting removed from the list.
Update: I was able to get the autocomplete to work by adding a leading space in the field. Is there a space in his username?

drummPlease re-open if there are any remaining issues. All the related issues are fixed or marked as duplicates now. I’m able to autocomplete “starbow” quickly and successfully.
