How to display full user name in jira user picker (custom field)

[pangoon]

Hi,

we use issues with a single user picker custom field. But when a user is selected, the field shows the id and not the full user name.

Is it possible to show the full user name in the user picker on the same issue screen?

Thanks for your answers.
