Hello ,
It is working fine. I guess you did it
after login as a root.
I am getting :
common@common-laptop:~$ echo ${USER}
common
common@common-laptop:~$ sudo echo ${USER}
common
common@common-laptop:~$

sudo echo ${USER} will cause top level shell to expand ${USER} - i.e.
_BEFORE_ executing sudo. Hence you will see the same value with and
