I can confirm on 4.4.5 (not sure about other versions) - This is a bug and you should report it in the bugtracker. I am struggling to post a solution or not as I use my time to investigate XC bugs while QT sits back and says - pay for support to fix XC bugs... I get nothing they get $139, seems fair right... And then reported bugs and fixes don't find their way to new releases.
QT maybe before saying - this is not a bug - you should first investigate on your copy of XC and confirm it and not just immediatelly go to "pay fee" option.
In /include/func/func.user.php find
PHP Code:
if (isset($result[$md5_args])) {
return $result[$md5_args];
}
and comment it out
PHP Code:
/*
if (isset($result[$md5_args])) {
return $result[$md5_args];
}
*/
This will force function to execute every time instead of returning user info if it already exists in that array. This should work just fine until QT wakes up and provides a patch
