Microsoft Account Name Shown Instead of Platform Name

Sometimes when I log into one of my worlds that has absolutely no packs enabled, it will display my name as my Microsoft Account name instead of my console name. This started occurring a few minutes ago.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Make sure you are signed into your microsoft account (Create one if needed)

2. Join/Create a world

Observed Result:

Your name should be your microsoft account name.

Expected Result:

Your name should be your platform name.

Can confirm. I tried:

Steps to Reproduce (Switch):

  1. Change Switch username not the same as Microsoft Account's name

  2. Start up the game

  3. If you're not signed in Microsoft Account, sign in or create it

  4. Enter a world

  5. Open the pause menu and check your name

  6. If your name is shown as the Switch username, leave the world and return to step 4

Expected Results:
The name always should be shown as the Switch username

Observed Results:
The name is sometimes shown as the Microsoft Account's name instead of the Switch username

There is no consistent way to reproduce this bug. Sometimes when I re-enter the world, the name becomes the Xbox ID. Sometimes when I change the skin in the main menu, the name changes to the Nintendo username. But sometimes neither of these methods work.

Before this bug occurred, the ID would always use the Nintendo username (unless you entered a Realm or server), not sometimes the Xbox ID and sometimes the Nintendo username.

I would like to always use the Nintendo username because Switch friends might not know Nintendo friends' Xbox ID, but Xbox friends can find out your Xbox ID by clicking on the user profile on the pause screen.

I have had situations where familiar friends entered the world with their Xbox ID, and I couldn't recognize who they were (later identifying them through the chat).

Thank you for your report!

I can still confirm on switch 1.21.2&1.21.20&1.21.21&1.21.22

According to my observation, when entering your own world, the username is mostly Xbox ID, but when entering a friend's world, it is more often Nintendo username.
