Comment:

 This has always been like that.

 The rationale behind this is so it would emulate a first name.  If you
 don't like this, you can either:

 1. Filter 'bp_get_user_firstname' so that it returns the full display name
 instead of only the first word of the name; or:
 2. Change the function call (from `bp_get_user_firstname()` to
 `bp_get_loggedin_user_fullname()`) within the template (`activity/post-
 form.php`) to use the full display name.
