Space in the display_name #956

Open Samyy670 opened 1 month ago

Brief description I think I have a bug, but maybe not just with the API. A viewer had a space at the end of their display_name that wasn't in their login. We checked the Twitch profile form "https://www.twitch.tv/settings/profile" and indeed, there was a space in the display_name.

The viewer in question was "Wundertyran". He fixed the bug by resubmitting the form, so we don't see it on his profile anymore. But I'm wondering, could other viewers have this bug as well?

Riot games is another account which has a display name containing a space. I dont think this is a third party concern though, and should probably be reported somewhere else

This isn't a bug this is just how some display names are.

it has been have been like this forever (/s on IRC is common)

Some display names have a space on the end or in the middle like riot games.
