A mention @username is not working if the username has a "-" in it. I have a user called Holger-Timm. The mention in the editor finds the username, I click on it, but when the post is saved only the first part of the username is a hyperlink and leads to another profile (the one of Holger, but not of Holger-Timm).
hmm... interesting.
In theory it should work, but probably in practice there is some regex somewhere that doesn't consider the - as a valid character... I feel, but I may be wrong.

Why don't we just include all characters? I don't see an issue. You can always close the dialog for the user tagging and it has to start with an @
We might include spaces in usernames as well. Specifically a user has a space as the second character, if that helps. ;)
This https://github.com/Spuds/Elkarte/commit/3fb8ec7d9fd01fead17b2a7649ef759d64352630 will allow spaces in the mention names (meaning the drop down will not close up when you hit space)
Many thanks Spuds! :)
Still having the issue... :(
Yep, it was not fixed. :P
