Description
This bug is easy to reproduce:
- Write a comment while logged in
- Change your display in the Admin panel
- Write another comment
Your first comment will show your old display name while your 2nd comment will show your new display have.
Technical details:
For not logged in users Wordpress saves the user name directly in $comment->comment_author. But for logged in users Wordpress is supposed to leave the $comment->comment_author field blank and instead fill out $comment->user_id. But it doesn't. When I do a var_dump on the $comment object, there is no user_id field and the comment_author field has my currently set display name in it.
The get_comment_author($comment_id) function checks if $comment->comment_author is empty and then looks for the $comment->user_id.
