return key

[hamishrp]

I was testing it out with someone and i found that at times, when i used to return key, the message was not sent but rather i went down a line to type in.

I haven't been able to recreate the problem whilst being able to deduce under what circumstances it occurs; it' likely to be on changing windows. Has anyone else had this prob? (am using firefox web browser)

This is a tricky error. To be honest, I've seen this myself; however, it can be seen in several other chat applications which use multi-line text areas, such as TrioLive. (For example, I remember this happening with fair regularity on AIM and it still happens for me on GAIM.)

Our best efforts seem to indicate that this is due to a bug in Windows. The problem is that the newline code is not always reported cleanly to TrioLive (so, even though you hit the enter key, and it actually moves down a line, Windows does not report that the key was sent to Firefox/IE). Thus TrioLive doesn't know it should be sending anything.

When it happens, backspacing to the correct line and hitting return again should correct the problem.
