When I first created the Blues Wireless Notecard Pseudo Sensor library, I accidentally used my name in the "Developer" field, as opposed to my company's name, Blues Wireless. To fix it, I updated the library.properties file, and revved the version to 1.0.1.

When you first search for "Blues Wireless" in the library manager, the library entry says "by: Blues Wireless", reflecting the latest update. However, when you hover over or highlight the library search result, the name returns to the original, "by: Zachary J. Fields".

I'm not sure where to file this bug, but I would like the name to be the company name, so folks know it's an officially supported library.

I believe the Boards Manager equivalent of the Library Manager bug you are encountering was reported here: https://github.com/arduino/Arduino/issues/3329

Until the IDE is fixed, I think the only way to avoid this would be to remove the 1.0.0 release of your library from the index, following the procedure described here:

This should be resolved in Arduino IDE 2.0.0. Please give it a try. The download links are listed here:
