Score board bug: doesn't update class when player changes classes

Using Version 2.17:
I started a map as a WM, after a couple of waves, I changed my name to my medic, then reconnected using the reconnect command. For the remainder of the game, the scoreboard showed the WM icon by my name, even though I was still a medic.

This happened again on the next map when I switched.

The XP also doesn't show up if the player dies during the match. I have a couple screenies if its a good idea to post them.

Can you explain this one in a bit more detail please. Do you mean if another player dies you do not show their xp, do you mean if you die you do not show your xp, or do you mean if you die you show xp for nobody?
Whilst you are dead, if you have not pressed F1 before dying, you will not see xp. But once you have pressed F1, it should update everyone's score. When you restart, I think you may need to press F1 again. I can't remember why, but it seemed reasonable at the time - I needed some object of the player to initiate replication.

When a player dies and respawns the next wave, their XP does not show up to ANYONE in the scoreboard.

...For the rest of the map.
It wasn't consistent though.

I was one of the players it happened on.
I don't remember the details that led up to it, but I checked the scoreboard when I was still alive, I saw everyones xp, but not my own...it was blank.
I made a comment about it, and someone mentioned that they didn't see my xp either.

Later Dallas showed up and he/she had the same issue.
I will keep an eye on it to see if there is a way to reproduce the issue. I am suspecting it might be lag issue like a bad packet or something random. There was a good number of players on at the time.

It looks like the missing xp is caused by the class change.
