Unable to DM people with spaces in their name

I haven't seen this reported yet. The main problem is that when you click on someone's profile and then click "message", their name doesn't auto-populate. If they have a single-word name the workaround is just to copy and paste the username and then you can send a DM.

However, the workaround doesn't work if you have a space in your name. It doesn't work even if you put quotation marks around the name. The field just can't seem to recognize it. If I put quotation marks around it then hit send, it gives the error message "You must select at least one recipient."

The last time I know for sure DMs worked normally was April 13.

I'm on Windows 11, Chrome browser desktop.

    It works if you don't use the quotes, for whatever reason the private message system wants names with no quotes even if they have spaces, with different names delineated by commas, different from @ notifications in posts.

    Thank you, that workaround did the trick!
