Comment (by netweb):

 Replying to [comment:2 henry.wright]:
 > Thanks @netweb! Just to point out the original reporter is now
 henrywright (note there's no dot). Are henrywright and henry.wright the
 same?

 I used the original usernames in the original ticket, `henrywright` as the
 reporter and comments as `henry.wright`

 Both of the above profiles redirect to the same profile
 https://profiles.wordpress.org/henrywright

 Though per the original report it is about usernames already taken should
 show a warning and not create a new user with a suffix of `-1`.

 A couple more comments from the original ticket for more context:

 Quoting [comment:3 ocean90]:
 > Maybe it has been fixed, but when I try to register a new account with
 my username I get a "Name already exists" error.

 Quoting [comment:6 henry.wright]:
 > The way to reproduce:
 >
 > 1. Register a username containing a dot e.g {{{user.name}}}
 > 2. Then register the same username without the dot e.g {{{username}}}
