When I have used the Menu Token [current-user:account-name] for users , I have to flush all caches to display user name (capture.png)
when I log in with an other user, the name (name of previous user ) doesn't change. (capture2.png)
If I flush the cache with drush the name is empty. (capture3.png)

Do you have logged in with authenticated user or admin?
Do you have the correct name when you change the user?
For me it works only for admin after flushing all caches via drupal backoffice.

This is a hard one... Any idea will be appreciated. Drupal uses caching... and request is even not initiatiated. Items cannot be replaced.
Had to dig deeper in the caching system to solve problems on front page for anonim user.

It goes hand in hand with performance. It is a double edge sword... If caching is disabled performance will go to to he...

Will have to solve the problem with cache context and BubbleableMetadata object (new BubbleableMetadata())->setCacheContexts(['bar']). This will be the most elegant way.

Hmm, seems that this issue isn't fixed. I can still reproduce it using latest module version (1.x-dev) and latest Drupal version (8.5.1).
