Bug Description
This is potentially a bug on the graphical add user interface. But i am unsure so i am reporting it without the package for now.
During the installation of 11.04 i am presented with the option to create a user name. I type my name "VolodyA! V Anarhist" and it (without anything on my part) selects a username for me as "volodya!" and right away prompts me that the user name is incorrect.
What i expect:
The install process should not itself suggest a user name which it knows to be incorrect.
