For context... I set my DisplayName to be Jano in the Threads P0 Delivery room (which @kittykat is a member of). My Display name is only changed in that room (using /myroomnick on web) and so I believe the correct behaviour here is to show my regular nickname/display name not the one that is specific only to the Threads P0 Delivery room

I can confirm that I was trying to invite Danielle from an unrelated room in the Element space

[daniellekirkwood]

The behaviour of room-only display names should be such that it only applies inside of that room.

@bmarty do you have any background on this? Do you agree that the behaviour should be that we do not show room specific display names in the search results?

I'm testing on iOS now...

This does not happen on iOS.

Fix is on the way, but I should also highlight that this bug in its entirety is that using /myroomnick currently changes your display name across the entire app. This affects not only your search result name, but also your name beside your avatar in the navigation drawer and such.

This fortunately doesn't affect your display name in other rooms (existing or new), but another weird fact about this bug is that whenever you send a message in a room, your display name in the app will be changed to whatever your nickname is in that room

Fixed in 1.4.12
