Summary0023693: Multiplayer: Chat has...weird messages no one is sending.
DescriptionThis seems similar but still different to the other reports on chat. Those seem to be with typed things hanging around. This...is things being sent, sometimes repeatedly, that no one typed at all.

Democracy for instance keeps sending "11" and "dd", a bunch of times in a row, but says he never did either of those. I once randomly sent "aw" despite never saying that.
TagsNo tags attached.

These sound like hotkeys that you guys were using to select fleets and control the camera. This is so ludicrous and also kind of hilarious. Thanks for the report, this does add to evidence on what I need to fix. :)

Putting it here so it's collected. I can confirm that I was using WASD to move the camera, so "aw" would make sense to come from that.

"Regarding the weird messages, they occur in the lobby, including the "11"
No reason to hit that in there."

---

"That is extra strange, then.
Thanks for that added context.
Was someone perhaps typing in a different field, and hit that key?
Campaign name, perhaps?
Or empire name?"

---

"Huhm, let me see if the autosave popped up. Demo was the one to do those.
The campaign is empty, but it does show the name.
It did not. Would have to ask him when he returns."

Good to know on all of that, and thanks for collecting it here!

Okay, so this is seemingly the same thing StarKelp noted, and this report is a duplicate. Democracy still seemed to cause it much more than either of us though, around...8 times in a few seconds.

As for hitting "11" in the lobby...I could only guess my memory was faulty here. The fact the rest of it is the same as the other report would suggest so, apologies.

Not a problem at all.

Thanks!

* Made a number of changes to the in-game chat textbox to prevent it from capturing your input even after it was closed, thus leading to mysterious sends of extra keys as well as your keybindings in general not working while the capture was in place.

* Also wound up re-plumbing the entire textbox input pipeline, because there were a number of cases of strange and annoying lag that could happen with them. So far all the ones we've tested are working great now and are more responsive. But please do let us know if there's any that are funky for you.
** This could in some cases lead to race-condition-like behaviors, and repeat sends of messages.
