Description
Category
[ ] Enhancement
[X] Bug
[ ] Question
Version
Please specify what version of the library you are using: [3.15]
Expected / Desired Behavior / Question
Currently you are unable to @mention a user using their display name, as soon as you hit space it breaks the mention, instead you need to enter the users email address. This is confusing and counter-intuitive, especially as this is not how @mention works in other microsoft apps, it also requires you to know the users email address.
Observed Behavior
When trying to @mention someone you should be able to use their display name, like users are used to using in other applications.
Steps to Reproduce
This is happening in web parts and form customizers, in at least 3.14 and 3.15.

Research direction
Start with the ListItemComments control and reproduce the issue in a web part or form customizer using a user's display name. Trace what happens when a space is entered during the mention flow. Done means a display-name mention remains usable after spaces, without requiring the user's email address.
