mentions with "-"

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).
