Description

Keybase GUI Version: 1.0.16-20160809160037+24badd1

Every time I open a folder I get a system message that en_us is not a user and then the folder correctly opens but also a user gui screen opens for a unknown user that has chosen the handle en.

My guess is, well nonsensical, but nevertheless. en_us looks like some locale but why it then would cut out _us when looking for a user I don't follow and the user doesn't follow me either is quite the tricky one.
