Dear TKay,
Unfortunately this is a known bug with the default Person/Group template. You can either switch to SP2010 template, but that would limit you to the old control, or simply add Plain Text/Rich Text control and insert text there.

Hi Nikita,
Can you provide an example how to add plain text control to it (this would work for me) or can you show me how to create a custom template. I would love to see an example of a custom template for this particular field. SP2010 template does not work properly, it does not display current user in the edit form when I edit the form....
Best,
Tomek

Dear Tomek,
Easiest way to add text is to simply drag-n-drop Rich Text control into the form and edit it manually:

Yes, I did that, however I would love to see an example with a custom template. Can you give me an example?
