I'm not sure I quite understand what you're saying. The intended
sequence is as follows:

  prompt for user's normal full name
    -> enter e.g. "Colin Watson"

  prompt for Unix username
    -> preset to e.g. "colin"; I usually delete this and replace with
       "cjwatson"

  prompt for password

  prompt for password confirmation

If you're not seeing this sequence, then it's a bug. It seems to me that
you're confused about the distinction between full name and username,
though, in which case I hope the above example clarifies it.

Cheers,
