Possible bug: Korean user names displayed incorrectly or duplicated in project member list
Added by Jiyong Jung 4 days ago
Hello,
I’ve noticed what seems to be a display bug related to Korean user names in Redmine.
When Korean (Hangul) names are shown in the project members list or the user overview pages, they sometimes appear truncated or duplicated.
For example:
A name that should display as 정지용 sometimes shows up as 정지 or 정지+정지용.
family name: 정
last name: 지용
It seems that the first two characters are displayed, and then the full name is repeated, or only a partial portion is rendered.
This happens inconsistently — sometimes the name is shown correctly, and other times it’s not.
The user’s full Korean name (e.g., 정지용) should be displayed exactly as registered.
Redmine version: 6.1.0
Ruby version: 3.2.3
Database: MySQL 15.1
OS: Linux 64-bit (bare-metal server)
Language setting: Korean (ko)
Browser: Chrome (latest, macOS)

You are probably using a third-party theme that isn't compatible with Redmine 6.1.
Switching to the default theme or updating that third-party theme to a version that supports Redmine 6.1 should fix the problem.
The part that shows the first letters of the first and last names is actually where an icon based on the user's initials is supposed to appear, like the screenshot below.

I confirmed that the latest version of Opale theme supports Redmine 6.1.0.
Upgrading the theme in your installation should fix the issue.
