Spring RTS Engine

idk is this because of my new shitty GFX card, but even though i have 60FPS, when i type message, the first letter is missing most of the time.

its annoying, when i type "what" it becomes a hat. >_>

anyone noticed this since the new major .80 update? maybe something wrong with the chat code?

Same here

i do not have it anymore, i think, but it happend in the past, but if i am not wrong, it only did so with ally- or spectator-chat.

does that in any chat for me

I have this problem too.

happens every once in a while to me too

i type a: but the a gets omitted and my enemies find out everything i'm planning to do :'(

same here for like a year.. minor bug but i got used and allways press double at start. stupid.

"wwho want trans??"

i will never get used to it, or when i get, i will wonder some day after it gets fixed why it repeats the first letter every time... (i will repeat it subconsciously, so i wont even know im doing it :E)

Yep, I've got the same problem. In some games my first letter goes for a walk and in some it doubles. Sometimes I cant even write anything, so as I wrote before in Help forum.

Same here.
Happens in latest Spring versions, wasn't happenning earlier.

i have the feeling it has to do with a widget, i suspect one of the *playerList ones. You may try disabling all widgets, and if it helps, partially reactivate them until you found the bad boy.

I tested and it seems to not happen in single player.
I think it may be caused by some widget that is only enabled in multi player (like some player list widget you mentioned) or simply by network lag.

cant be playerlist widget, since i dont use that.

i think its the network lag, key presses are handled after the lag perhaps? o.O

It is hard to believe that this could be caused by network performance. It can not be lag, as lag means just a delay. Also, it would have to be a a packet containing only one byte real data (am pretty sure that no network protocol does that), plus it makes no sense that it would laways be the first letter, and only with chat messages (as the game would crash or desync if it owuld ever hapen wiht the other messages), plus, for me at last, it happendwhen typing the message, not when receiving it, os it went wrong before ever touching anything network related.

Yeah it happens while typing, not while sending the message. You press Enter to start typing, and type something, but the first letter you typed after Enter gets lost. When you press Enter again to send the message the message sent is the same as the message that was showing while typing, so no bug with sending.

Btw I think I don't use any playerlist widget either.

I think it doesn't happen if you type slowly. Like "hit enter then wait" and it doesn't occur. Spring pretty much fails for properly queuing UI messages WRT to Gui events.
