Problem with English client when they see Capital English letter from JP client user

I'm not sure if this information will be of any use, but I'd like to add that you don't have to be using the Japanese client to cause this error to occur. I live in the US, have the NA version of the game, and chose English on install. Everything is in English. However, I play in a Japanese LS, and I type messages to them in Japanese using the standard Japanese IME that you can enable in any copy of Windows. (Once enabled, you can switch to it in game by pressing Alt-Shift on any US keyboard. Then press Alt-~ to switch between romaji and kana inputs.) Anyway, on several occasions I myself have typed messages that triggered this bug.

The first time I did it I thought everyone could see it, so I made a comment about how strange the text looked. Naturally, I got a lot of "Um...wha?" in response. I think they worried that their resident foreigner might be smoking something.

By the way, as a final note, thank you very very VERY much for making it possible to type in Japanese even while using the English client! This is really a life saver for me, and I am thankful for it every time I log in. Also, thank you for allowing the game's language to be selected upon install. It's a wonderful and very consumer-friendly feature! If the PS3 version ends up having these features as well I will offer you my firstborn in gratitude. Don't tell my wife, though.

You actually install all of the languages. You can switch between client languages in the config.

Thank you for the information!
