Description
Users with numerical usernames (say 5555) have two instances in droplist when sharing files or folders: with email and without it.
Expected behaviour
User wants to share file or folder with some user having numerical username. When he types his name then this name appears once in dropdown list.
Actual behaviour
Name of the user with numerical username on sharing appears twice in dropdown list: with email and without it.
Users with regular usernames have the only instance to select from dropdown list upon object sharing.

Research direction
Reproduce the sharing flow with a user whose username is numeric, such as 5555, and inspect the user-search dropdown entry point. Compare the duplicate entries with those for a regular username; done means the numeric user appears only once while sharing a file or folder.
