I think this is more of a feature enhancement than a bug. So far as I can determine the 5-character minimum is arbitrary rather than dictated by technical requirements. I've certainly not seen any problems in using it.
I've made a version available in my PPA. This simply alters the "strlen() < 5" check to be "< 2". It doesn't update all the gettext po files. https://edge.launchpad.net/~intuitivenipple/+archive -- Arbitrary Real Name minimum length limit refuses valid names https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/161002 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
