Description:
screenshot of the installer after patch 56235

After the bug fix (bug 56235), The Your name has been modified to Your username to avoid confusion. Either way, the installer never asked for the Real Name of the user, which is later asked in preferences.This would give more sense for the user and installer.

Version: 1.23.0
Severity: enhancement
