On a new installation of OP 5.0.19, I noticed my account name wasn’t matching in the work package activity pane.

**Steps to reproduce error:**

- Fresh install of OP 5.0.19 via packager.io on a clean Ubuntu 14.04 server
- Log in with default username and password (`admin@/@admin`).
- Change password as appropriate.
- In **Administration → Users**, change default user to be you, or anyone else, instead of “OpenProject Admin” - Example: Set first name to *John*, last name to *Jones*.
- Change login from the default `admin` to something else. (`jjones` in the example.)

**Expected Result**
**John Jones** should be the name displayed in the work package activity pane for the activities performed by this account.

**Actual Result**
**OpenProject Admin** is displayed as the user name.

Note: Looking at the overall Project Activity via the Activity Module appears to work correctly, i.e. my actual name is displayed for all of my activities in the project.
