Q: Face names converted to lower case

This is aggravating.  I have a large number of photos of me tagged at "Bill Jurasz".  Tonight I import 6 more and tag my face, but Photos converted it to "bill jurasz".  The difference in case makes this a new person.  Worse I can't get Photos to change it.  I re-type as Bill Jurasz and Photos changes it on me.  I re-type and select the correct name from the drop down list (and not choose the wrong one) and it changes it on me.  I remove the face tags and start over.  Same thing.  What is going on?

    If you want to change a name to another name, that only differs in the capitalization, you first have to change it to a completely different name with some different letters. Rename your completely lower-case faces album to "Donald Duck" or similar, any name you will never need. Quit Photos to force it to update the internal databases, then relaunch Photos and rename the Donald Duck album back to your correct name.
