Problem/Motivation

When in production, an incorrect name is displayed in the user menu.

Steps to reproduce

This behavior is caused by caching and using \Drupal::currentUser(); which returns cached data.

Specifically this part of the code generates the problem:

    if (theme_get_setting('slim_header_action_username')) {
      $current_user = \Drupal::currentUser();
      $uid = $current_user->id();
      $account = User::load($uid);
      $variables['slim_header_action_username'] = $account->getDisplayName();
    }

Steps to reproduce the issue:

  1. drupal must be configured as in the production environment (it does not occur in the development environment)
  2. enable "Silm header -> Login button and user menu -> Show username"
  3. log in as a non-administrator user (Bob); then log out, then log in with another non-admin user (Alice);
  4. the second user (Alice) will see Bob written in the user menu the label

Proposed resolution

Before the bug fixes were released, disabling the "Show Username" option temporarily resolved the issue.
