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!

I think by default the identity plate shows the user name from your system. Maybe you have a special character in your system user name that Lightroom can't recognize or display. You can easily fix this by customizing the identity plate. https://jkost.com/blog/2022/05/create-a-custom-identity-plate-in-lightroom-classic.html

This could be caused by an old bug. %20 is the ASCII notation of a space. Lightroom has a preference setting to disallow spaces in file and folder names, but that lead to similar weird things in the past, so try what happens if you change this setting. I believe it's Preferences - File Handling (I'm typing this on my iPad so I can't check it).

Looks like it may be a bug in 11.4.1....it's been reported today at the lightroomqueen.com forum: https://www.lightroomqueen.com/community/threads/adobe-account-name.45829/

 

And I see it as well on my Win10 system, though my Mac system is OK.

I've attempted to duplicate this on Win 10 and had no success regardless of font, number of spaces or the setting in the Preferences>File Handling. 

There must be more to the story?

I've seen it on my Mac in 11.4.1 and a number of reports on the FB LR Help groups. Only this weekend though, not coinciding with installing an update - could it be something server-side that's gone wrong?

 

Oh and it disappeared again when I restarted LR. Weirder and weirder.

I have exactly the same issue. Identity Plate is wrong (as is Preferences) but logging in to my Adobe account on line shows the correct name with no strange characters

Lightroom Classic version: 11.4  on Mac BigSur.

 

I notice that my account name is URL encoded with the space being shown as %20.

It may have occurred earlier - I don't usually pay attention to that area. 

Online, account name is as usual and this is the only place I can update my name (no edit account button in Lightroom prefreences):

I first noticed it on Win 10, LRC 11.1.  Upgraded to 11.14.1: same problem.

Also seeing it on MacOS, LRC 11.2.

Since updating small jpg export is crazy slow. Never had this issue before. As well, a "20%" is now appearing between my first and last name in the name plate. This can't be good...

I have the same issue. No special characters (US only) and LRC displays %20 instead of a space between name and surname in identity plate. This is definitelly a new bug introduced by LRC 14.4.1 on Mac platform (not sure if not already in 14.4). But anyway on older versions everyting was fine.

Hello,

 

I'm using LR Classic 11.4.1 on MacOS 12.0.1.

 

My "Adobe ID" is "Michaël Hooreman". As you can see in the attached screenshot, when LR Classic shows it, it is done as "Michae%C3%ABl%20Hooreman". This is the case for example in the identity card on the top left of the screen, as well as in the "Lightroom Synchronization" (cloud storage) settings.

 

It seems that accented letters as well as spaces seems rendered as encoded URL instead of normal UTF8 text.

I've just seen it in the Copyright field in LR Desktop too. It's gotta be a server-side change.

I spoke with Adobe and it's a known issue. The best work around is to create a separate user and work from the other user desktop. 
I'm "told" the next update should repair the issue processing images with a watermark. 
the %20 issue can be fixed in preferences but I think it keeps coming back until this other issue is resolved. 
I can confirm the alternative user does work to solve the issue.

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

madbrain76_1-1658934237347.png

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.

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!

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)

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!

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:
