Presenting our Bug Report

While we thought we had a handle on how to fix our bug, we've gone through some recent considerations on how to properly address it. The first thing that has come to light is that certain Sugar users like to make their names in a way that takes up multiple lines.  We still need to figure out a way to properly address this.

Here are the options that we explored and plan to present:

1.  To cut of the extra space on each side of the string on both initial launch, and when editing the user's name.
2.  To cut of the extra space on each side of the string only when the user enters in their name for the first time.

I plan to present the bug to class directly from my machine, so that we can view and discuss the changes that take affect after applying our current "fix" for the bug.

For the future:  We still need to figure out how to properly address the multi-line names.  First, we need to figure out how they are created.  Once we understand the process of creating the name, we will be able to provide a better solution to the problem.
