Same thing on Linux.

All I had to do was reopen the page to have it updated on the page but when I reopened the settings it still had the old username. I had to reopen the app.

This is part of the new collaboration feature set. Most likely we're missing some indicator of update, I'll take a look.

The issue with settings having the wrong name on open, was also an issue caused by some changes due to the workspace feature implementation, I have resolved this in the next release.
