Description
When "Role to select user from" is set to "authenticated user" the edit form field is empty because role id 2 is not present in users_roles. I think it is assumed to apply to any user with an account.
My recommendation is to get rid of the dropdown and just use an autocomplete form.
I've started working on a patch and will try to finish it in a day or two. (Remind me if it is not done by the end of the week :-/)
#1
I am curious to see the patch.
#2
This patch changes the original author field into an autocomplete field and removes the role to select users from field. There may be bit I missed removing since the form logic is so intertwined.
#3
Fixed a small typo.

Hello poseurtech
Great it works !!
But when i edit a feed author name, it does not changes in node table. Here the code to do that
else if ($edit['fid'] && intval($edit['fid']) > 0) {// Username can change, so we need to store the ID, not the username.
$edit['uid'] = db_result(db_query("SELECT uid from {users} WHERE name = '%s'", $edit['username']));
db_query('UPDATE {planet_feeds} SET uid = %d, title="%s", link = "%s", image="%s" WHERE fid=%d', $edit['uid'], $edit['title'], $edit['link'], $edit['image'], $edit['fid']);
// changing the uid of nodes that are associated to this fid.
$result = db_query("SELECT nid FROM {planet_items} WHERE fid = %d", $edit['fid']);
while ($nid = db_fetch_object($result)) {
db_query('UPDATE {node} SET uid = %d WHERE nid = %d', $edit['uid'], $nid->nid);
}
drupal_set_message('Edited "'. $edit['title'] .'" feed.');
}
