Hi,
My test account has a display name of "TestDisplayName" but MySpace now
show this as "TestDisp<wbr/>layName" in the HTML of the 'user home'
page. That isn't a real HTML tag, so it's either a typo, or MySpace
have decided to make up their own HTML tags now. I think its purpose is
to allow the display name to break onto the next line.
This was causing the user_name test in t/01-login.t to fail. My
attached patch strips out this tag if present, and it should still work
if they ever change it to <br/> in the future.
Regards,
