Hi @omerfarukbasa, I tried testing this with up to 5000 characters and I get a disclaimer every time that the username can not be accepted due to it's size. How big of an input are you testing it with?

Hi @grand1nqu1s1tor, I tested this using a much larger input. It was around 100,000 characters. I used this website to generate a text with a large amount of combining characters. First type in a text, set the craziness level to max. Copy the result and paste it multiple times into the username field. Please let me know if you are still unable to replicate the issue.
