  • Bug: split screen chat loses characters when two users type simultaneo

    From Keyop Troy@1:103/705 to GitLab issue in main/sbbs on Mon Nov 8 15:37:35 2021

    When two logged in users are using split screen chat, for example when selecting [C]hat -> [P]rivate, and both users type simultaneously, the chat system loses random characters in either or both chat windows.If only one user types at a time, then no characters are lost.

    Next time you have a chance to reproduce this, try hitting Ctrl-R (redraw) to see if the missing character reappear on the screen. Thanks.

    So, Ctrl-R doesn't redraw the missing characters and the problem does not happen when split-screen mode is not in use. Oh, and happens on Windows/local-disk as well.

    And when I play back a macro, either the whole macro e.g. "abcde 12345 " is played back, or the macro is not being played back at all.
