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.
