P: Account Name on Lightroom Classic is incorrect "%20" replaces [Space]

For no reason in particular, LR started to show my name as seen below. I have no idea how to fix it. When I log in to my account, it just has first and lastname without the "%20" in it. Does anyone know how to fix this? 

 

Thanks so much!

My Adobe Account has my Name with my middle name initial like "John F. Kennedy"

But the latest Adobe Versions have problem with displaying spaces in the top left corner... They show the HTML Code (?) %20 instead of actual spaces.

This is how Lightroom Classics look:

Hi… This is really trivial but it bothers me everytime I look at it. Why is html code for a word space showing? Is there anyway to clean it up i.e. get rid of it? I've restored the preferences, etc.

 

LrC 11.4.1 release. MacOS Catalina. Thanks all!

On starting Lightroom Classic 11.41 with the start-up Catalog unavailable, the registered user name appears as Firstname%20Lastname rather than Firstname Lastname in the upper-left of the application.

If Lightroom Classic is started with the Catalog available, the name renders correctly (with a space character, not the hex %20 code)

With Lightroom Classic 11.4.1 (Windows 10 Pro, 19044.1826, language setting "swedish") the user name (to the right of the "LrC" icon, upper left corner) is presented with the encoding of national characters rather than the character itself.
This also applies to the white space between first- and family-name: "%20" instead of " ".

National characters are shown "%C3%xx", where xx is specific for the character.

Reproduce by using national characters in the name, e.g "Åke Motörhéad" (for illustration only)

 

B.T..W. it would be good if the text already entetered also remained when changing the "conversation type". Tedious to re-enter the same information!

Can confirm this on my Windows installation.

Since LRc 11.4, my username is showing as follows, with a %20 :

The %20 didn't used to be there.

My Windows username is "Julien Pierre", with a space. This is the username you get when you install Windows 10 with a local account, rather than a a Microsoft account. You are prompted for first and last name during the OS installation. A space is automatically added to the username by the OS.

The behavior can easily be reproduced by creating another local user and running LRc under it.

 

While this is a cosmetic regression, it looks pretty silly to have the space character escaped.
