When writing JQL, my assignees turn into userid's instead

[Jay Vlavianos]

My users are starting to forge their way into writing JQL and selecting things like assignees.  However, when the JQL is entered, the persons name converts to a alpha-numerical string (which I can only assume is the userid) making the JQL unreadable.

Has anyone experienced this?
