Describe the bug
When a friend changes their name, it seems to count in the log as unfriended.

Thought this was odd since the other person was the one who friended me just recently. I noticed they were still on my Friends list but under a slightly different name. They are a New User so their previous name had that random tag of characters at the end which I think are for Steam accounts so I think this bug shows up in that situation? I've had another friend change name but did not have this same behaviour

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Get friended by a New User logged on through Steam (random characters tacked on the name end)
New User changes their name and the random characters are gone, I think when they get an official VRChat account instead of steam login(?)
Check VRCX log and see yourself as unfriended
Get confused when you still see them on your friend list with slightly different name

Expected behavior
It shouldn't show up as unfriended in the vrcx chat log. Maybe have another filter that's "friend name changed'

Screenshots
Sorry, I deleted from the logs already since they weren't correct. Didn't realize could've been useful to have screenshots
