Update to this. From the mentioned places where a user's real name was
shown rather than their display name, only the group members page was a
problem when the user was invited to the group and still a pending
member. All good ones she was a real member.

Steps to replicate:

1. Create three accounts: One site admin and two regular users (A and B).
2. As site admin, allow users to hide their real name under Config site -> Site options -> User settings
3. Log in as A and set the display name to "Display name".
4. Log in as B, create a group and on the member's page click on "Send multiple invitations at once".

Expected result: In the box "Potential members" I see user A listed as "Display name".
Actual result: I just see A for both, Potential members and Users to be invited. This is wrong as no display name is displayed at all.

If as administrator I don't see the display name but only the real name
and the username.

This is the case in all the boxes, e.g. also on the institution members,
staff and administrators pages in the administration.

In addition on the group members page, when I invited user A and check
out the "Invites" in the list of members, I see the real name instead of
the display name.

Title:
  Real name is displayed when it shouldn't be

Status in Mahara:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Mahara 15.10+

  When users can hide their real name, but don't choose to do so, their
  real name appears in places where it did not appear in Mahara 15.04.

  The option for hiding the real name only states: "Check this box if
  you have set a display name and do not want other users to be able to
  find you by your real name in user searches."

  That means, that they can be found by their real name, but it doesn't
  say that their real name is also displayed around the site alongside
  their display name. Regular users see the real name of a person
  displayed now in more places than before making it more cumbersome to
  read the name.

  Examples where the real name besides the display name is shown but
  wasn't in Mahara 15.04:

  - "Online users" sideblock
  - "Shared with me"
  - Group homepage if the user is a group admin
  - on group members page

  Marked as high priority because it could be a privacy concern for
  users who deliberately choose not to display their entire name but use
  a display name.
