I reported this back in August (GH) and didn't realize that it was the apostrophe that was causing issues. I'm not sure why @m-natarajan is unable to reproduce, I can confirm that I saw the same behavior around names with apostrophes.

Unable to replicate the issue, neither on MacOS (Chrome), MacOS (Safari) & Win (Chrome). Also tested adding name normally (first & last name field), or entire name in 'first name' field, and entire name in 'last name' field.

📣 It's been a week! Do we have any satisfactory proposals yet? Do we need to adjust the bounty for this issue? 💸

Issue not reproducible during KI retests. (First week)

[melvin-bot]

@sakluger, @eVoloshchak 10 days overdue. I'm getting more depressed than Marvin.

[sakluger]

I asked in the original Slack thread if it's still reproduceable.

@sakluger @eVoloshchak this issue was created 2 weeks ago. Are we close to approving a proposal? If not, what's blocking us from getting this issue assigned? Don't hesitate to create a thread in #expensify-open-source to align faster in real time. Thanks!
