Amity Slade commented at 2021-02-26T21:46:00Z, updated at 2021-02-26T21:48:13Z I did a support ticket on this issue 3 days ago. I am using the Second Life Viewer. This has been occurring for me for approximately 10 days (that may not be exact).

Beq Janus commented at 2021-02-28T14:50:06Z [~dan.linden] this bug was introduced by fixes for SL-14078 (commit - 0a2b748705c6e74eaff814d48b8b110c1364b45f) The refactored ```updateNameLookupURL()```` method is called before the mRegionID member variable has been updated. This results in the DisplayNames capability being assigned to the wrong host. The least invasive fix to this is to pass the new region pointer into the update function. The patch I've applied to Firestorm is here. It has not gone through our QA yet, but my tests show correct behaviour now. https://vcs.firestormviewer.org/phoenix-firestorm/changeset/efcce92bb691da721de8b2929888d8992bac18bd Feel free to take it.

Katarin Kiergarten commented at 2021-02-28T21:08:19Z Dan, Beq appears to have solved this mystery, but for the sake of completeness: In answer to your question, I can report that changing groups while this problem is happening has had no effect on it during my testing. |

What just happened?
NOTE: It's not 100% clear whether this is actually a viewer issue or a simulator issue; I've selected "viewer" because as of yet, I have only seen it happen in the current SL release and the current FS beta, but those are the viewers I've used the most in the five days that this has been occurring. This issue has not appeared right away during a session, and my time spent on other viewers has been brief this week.
Versions affected:
Current SL release, 6.4.13.555567
Current Firestorm beta, 6.4.13.63222, where this issue was first noticed and is discussed here: https://jira.firestormviewer.org/browse/FIRE-30774
What happens: After a session has been active for a while (this seems to occur only after I have been logged in for 30-60 minutes and then continues to occur thereafter to some degree), the Places > Friends list will show some friends' names as "(loading)”, i.e. the names will not resolve. This condition can persist for hours for a given avatar name in the list and typically persists for a group of them, though I have seen it start happening for a few and not happen for others who log in later, while I remain in the same region throughout.
Sample errors: There are a number of possibly-relevant log entries along these lines; I’d prefer to submit a log privately, since other avatars and various more private / home locations are identified in the log file, so let me know where I can submit or email it; I do not want the non-redacted log shared publicly at any point:
What were you doing when it happened?
I have seen this usually after at least one teleport or region crossing and then staying in one region for a while, but it isn’t obvious if this is required condition for this issue to be triggered; I just haven’t had time to sit on one region for a whole hours-long session to see what happens.
I cannot presently prove, as is speculated in FS-30774, that any other avatars, or a specific minimum number of avatars, are required to be on the same region as me for this to arise. I have seen it happen both on regions with other avatars present, and without.
What were you expecting to happen instead?
The avatar names should load promptly and properly in Places > Friends as they usually do.
Other information
Secondlife.log is available upon request, on the condition that the information is not posted publicly, and any examples mentioned on this issue from the log have the avatar keys removed first. (Else we can switch the security level on this issue to "triagers and reporter," as long as it will remain that way. Please add Willow Wilder to this issue as an authorized viewer, if possible, in that case.)
See additional example screenshots from my FS beta session discussed in FIRE-30774.
