Five years later and this is still broken. Honestly, how? 🏳️‍🌈

We’re using a simple naming scheme: “Company XYZ | Firstname Lastname”. Completely normal in a corporate environment. And yet in To Do, every single person just shows up as… “C”.

So we are all just a wall of Blue circles with the letter C inside. So now, if you check who got which task, its a guessing game or just requires a click more.

3/5 people that need the To Do to work properly have a profile photo, so you would expect the profile photos to show up. It’s ridiculous.
They show up fine in Teams, Outlook, everywhere else. Just not in To Do. Apparently that’s where they go to fucking die.
At this point it’s not even a bug anymore, it’s just… part of the product. Like yeah, To Do helps you organize tasks, but identifying people? That’s on you.
I genuinely don’t get how something this visible survives for five years. This isn’t some edge case buried three menus deep — it’s literally the main UI.

Great productivity boost Microsoft, thank you.
