XF 2.2 strange issue with recipients when creating a conversation, shows users who don't exist!?

[zoldos]

I took a quick video to demonstrate. Basically, anything I enter in the conversation recipient field will show as a possible user, even when none exists. Actual users who are entered work and they are showed with their avatar, while nonexistent members aren't. No server errors....

That looks like an auto-fill suggestion function of some type. Sort of like a text predictor on a smartphone...

Hmm...okay, thanks! I'll test it in other browsers. I'm using Firefox. So you don't think it's an XF issue?

No, I don't think so. This is the default function without any addons enabled.
If the member name doesn't exist, the message won't be sent and an error would be shown.
I can't remember if there's a disable function or not.

Hmm....thanks for checking! I just had it do the exact same thing in the latest Edge.

@ENF I see what you are saying. It's just XF trying to auto-complete. And yes, it throws an error if the member isn't found.

It just looked strange!! lol
