When doing a chat message of more than one line, sometimes the second line will switch to the default note color.

Seems to happen different on different clients (sending/recieving), and also whether or not the line has spaces in it (so you start the message on the next line down after XXX chats:)

I cant seem to figure out the exact behavior though, its erratic, at best.

Hmm - can't easily reproduce this.

Can you try just MUSHclient to MUSHclient? At least then if it works that tends to rule this client out.

It wouldn't totally surprise me if the other client's behaviour was responsible, however I won't claim that until it can be reproduced one way or another.

Can you also say if the problem is:

* MUSHclient *to* another client
* MUSHclient *from* another client
* MUSHclient to/from itself

If another client seems to be responsible, which one?

Clients were both Mushclient.

It would happen, on all three ends (we had two mushclients, connected to a third mushclient). But, not all of them would do it on the same messages, (at least my two ends didnt) always at the same time.

World1 for me cnnected to someone elses Mushclient (world3), And then world2 for me, also connected to that person (world3).

The First time I saw it, was world1 sending, and world 2 got the cut off. Then it happened on all three worlds, we were tried to figure it out if it was just when a word was really long, but it happened with normal words too (with spaces).

Last two lines of that were default note color (for sender)

On the recieving end:

FlanChatBot chats to everybody, 'the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog the quick brown fox

over the lazy dog the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog the quick brown fox jumps over the

brown fox jumps over the lazy dog the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog'

Just the last line lost its color.

Earlier, it was on much shorter messages.

That is one world, sent to another world, in the same Mushclient session.

And this is version 3.41?

Have you got note colour to "default" or some other colour?

A fairly vigorous test of your longer message hasn't resulted in any colour loss here.

I also used the #paste function to paste a 2000 line piece of source code which went through without change. This was, however, chatting from one window of MUSHclient to another window of the same executable.

My note color is set to custom 5, sorta a light blue/dark cyan.

The chat is red (you chat: ') and then the text is cyan, and then the end quote is red again (even if the chat turns to my note color).

Yes, this is 3.41.


#FF0000 <-- Red
#00FFFF <-- normal chat color
#0080FF <-- My Note color
#FF0000 <-- Red again (for the last quote)

Hmm - now I can reproduce it. I turned "indent paragraphs" off and it does it every time on line 3. :)

OK, fixed that. It was because indents were off, and a word happened to wrap at the exact end of the line (ie. at the line width, the character was a space).

As a workaround, turn indenting on.
