Please return Chat System to the way it was before Patch

While I am gathering I can not hit spacebar to open Chat Tab to chat with my friends, I have to wait till I am done gathering, this makes it very difficult to communicate, please return it back to the chat system before patch where I could hit spacebar anytime to open chat window

Get in the habit of pressing / followed by the channel you want to talk to. Its the only thing that's managed to remain true throughout the evolution of this game.

Thanks for the tip, Kymusashi. ^^

This has been bugging me since the patch, but that pretty much solves my problem.

Thank you for the heads up, MiNuN. We have confirmed that this is a bug and we are looking into addressing it now. We apologize for the inconvenience this has caused.

Excellent! When I first realised this I was annoyed, then I found the /+backspace control. Now however, because I gather so freakin' much, I've gotten into the habit of hitting backspace after hitting / every time, which has caused, on more than one occasion, for me to tell someone "clap" or "bow" or "gcsalute." It's very embarrassing.

I got so used to CTRL+(letter) to chat this rarely bothered me, but I know some guys just HAVE to hit spacebar. Glad to hear it's getting fixed!

Make sure they fix the bug where clicking on the screen with the mouse deletes any text entered in the chat edit box too!

This also happens if you press a command while you craft. Highly annoying!

in the meantime, I have found that hitting "/" will work just as well as spacebar except you have to delete the "/" or CTRL to something else (or /p /t /l /etc)

I also noticed another issue regarding the chat system. I'm not sure if it's caused by the same bug.

The keyboard type of [EN, US-International] used to work for me, and I used it for entering French accent marks; however it stopped working as of patch 1.19.

For instance, I type:
J' ai parl'e fran'cais.
And it should come out as:
J'ai parlé français.
But instead you get:
J ai parle francais.

Also, if you type something like: I'll be right back.
You get: Ill be right back.

I agree...my accentuation isn't working too. I can't even use a "^^"...for all latin-based languages it was terrible ><

I do would rather having the doubled starting letter bug than this no accentuation bug...

Also, another bug remains...even with chat-specific keyboard option on, if we type a special character or number it does not trigger the text input box.

This really needs some fixing ASAP ^^::

omg first time I see a replay from the dev team on this forum ;]

i'm not getting any problems with chat window at all. i am able to hit spacebar and it activates command line for me.

The failure to use spacebar to summon up chat input box only occurs in the middle of gathering and crafting.

I am so glad you confirmed that it is actually a bug. This is a big relief. Thank you.
I will be looking forward to the repair of this.
