When will the problem with missing letters get fixed? Its extremely annoying, especially when it prevents you from PM'ing certain ppl, cuz the letter "x" simply isent typeable :twak:

Dunno if there has been a thread about it already, and yeah I did send a mail to RN.

I get random letters being cut off, usually when they are over a line long in my chatbox. From what I've gathered it doesn't affect what everyone else can see, but I may be experiencing a slightly different problem than you.
From what I can tell, it isn't a UI problem. I also have no idea how widespread this problem is, but there are definitely people with the same problem. Fortunately, I don't think it disrupts what I type that much and can quite easily ignore it...

Problem is there are certain people you cannot PM....Im not to bothered when writing in fx /g and "not" becomes "ot" etc, but really the PM'ing is a problem, especially on classic server, when you need to look for xp grps :p

i believe what we need to do is replace the lost letters with other things so from now on:

t = ( and n = ) :eek:

nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnooooo nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn's with me, atleast, not the first one ;) (though, can also be other letters... atleast, this was the first one I found out.)

there was a topic about it, altho not probably at the right place, which also got an answer from a GM...you might want to check it out:

https://forums.freddyshouse.com/showthread.php?t=181561

basically it should be ok if you use CAPITAL letters...so /send Charname instead of /send charname ;)

well, it may be a workaround, but it ain't really a fix now ain't it?

I'm getting this too - only when it's over a line long though, I'm using Derida though I'm pretty sure it isn't that bacause I haven't upgraded since 1.80 on that and it used to work fine.

If you resize the chat box, the letter reappears so it's pretty minor - those I am talking to seem to see it.

isnt ui related,

i also some times loose the first letter of the second line, and yes typically if it's T or an N, and if i widen my chatbox as by magic the letter reaprears :D

reason i'm sure it's not an Ui issue is, that i've talked to variouse friends that all use a range of different ui's and they experience the same issue, and i have personally tried to switch between a few ui's to test it, also the defualt ui's and it's the same problem,

but altho anoying it's not something that make or breaks my gaming fun so shrug :D
