Description: When tagging a user via @ in the editor, if the username has a space in it it stops suggesting names beyond the space.
Context: My site is a Harry Potter RPG and each account is a character's name, which almost always means a space in the username. Some beginnings of names are quite common, and if the name doesn't appear in the first dropdown it's impossible to have the person you're trying to tag appear after the space. (For example, in the first screenshot, you can see that there are several accounts that begin with "Professor" but if I want to tag "Professor Monty Pendleton" the name doesn't appear and continuing to type the name will escape the tagging function.
I know this will be tricky (if even possible) to resolve, given the infrequency of usernames with spaces that require being tagged with the dropdown of username suggestions.
Perhaps the dropdown could treat an underscore as including spaces so "@Professor_M" includes usernames that start with "Professor M" in the dropdown?
