posting last written message with up arrow and enter writes something weird behind it #1951

Closed lOrD-gHoSt closed 4 years ago

lOrD-gHoSt commented 4 years ago

someone im in the same stream and discord with mentioned when hes on his chatty that when i write and post something the normal way, its ok. but when i press the up arrow and enter to repeat that post, like "!join" for raffles, you can see something behind that in Chatty. i tested it too. and when i copy everything out of Chatterino´s and twitch´s chat, i have a space then something, and another space behind it. you cant see the "something" but when you press the right arrow button, you see that it has a different spacing compared to a normal space.

chatterino: !join 󠀀

right out of the twitch chat: !join 󠀀

^this is what i get. idk if i can replicate it, for now it works, but lets see if it still works when i submit the issue ^^ you would have to copy and paste the whole thing from "!" to way after the "n" in a .txt or somewhere.

and: its only in some streams it seems. and it was in one, and then after some time and a restart of chatterino, it was gone from it... but still in the others.

attaching a file of the chatty-log and -chat screens from the other person and me: unknown

That's the built-in spam protection built into chatterino. It adds a braille character so users are able to achieve this without being stopped by twitch's duplicate message system.

For reference, it has been suggested to make the character configurable (or even toggleable altogether) in https://github.com/Chatterino/chatterino2/issues/1572.

so, is the development of Chatterino dead? because that was posted on 26 Feb, and its still open. or is the option already in, and they just didnt close the issue?

No, an option like this does not exist.

ok, thank you for the answer! who do i ask then? because i had way too many discussions with streamers and viewers about this now, and its getting on my nerves ;X many of them use Chatty, and they can see that stuff, and then the streamers and/or their mods, ask themself what that sh... stuff is... i now have an explanation for that, but still, a toggle would be nice! because i dont spam oO

Well, your best bet would be a software developer you know personally. Or you might be lucky and someone sees this thread and goes ahead to fix it.

and its getting on my nerves

I can understand the frustration but it is unfortunately a common problem among open-source projects with a large user base but few active contributors.

yeah, understandable, not hating against it, its just frustrating ^^ no, i dont know any, so i have to wait shrugs as long as i can resolve it, and not get permabaned, its okay~ish.

it isnt. idk why they (you) think a spam friendly option that writes some random stuff behind yours without toggle is a good thing! as long as it isnt a toggle, its an issue. please read https://github.com/Chatterino/chatterino2/issues/1951#issuecomment-690367392 , then you can see that it is one, thank you! (im talking about bans, perma bans, in this comment btw. i know, i just lightly touched it, but i thought that this would be enough. not all streamers and mods are super into discussing external chat programs when they have many viewers, or arent as tech savy. didnt happen, but why should we tempt fate?)

i can understand the "we have not enough ppl, and too many problems" thing, but that does not change the fact that this is a problem, and should not be intended!

i have no problem waiting for an update that fixes said problem and than closing this.

so long, have a nice day!

Mm2PL commented 4 years ago

This behaviour is intended. That character is U+E0000. It is invisible on most fonts, but its not a whitespace character, thus making it really useful for sending the same message twice. Also of note: bots use it to send someone's username but not ping them, by inserting it in the middle. If you want to change it or disable it you'd need to mess with TwitchIrcServer.cpp.

leon-richardt commented 4 years ago

Also, as a kind of workaround (which I know is not perfect but it might save you some discussions):

When you press "Arrow Up" to bring up the last message, you can just backspace everything up to the last letter of your message. This should get rid of the invisible character.

This feature is entirely intentional. So therefore the issue isn't an issue or bug at all. On the grounds that you want the option to disable, then it'd be a duplicate of https://github.com/Chatterino/chatterino2/issues/1572 If you want to implement it yourself, go right ahead. Nobody is being paid to develop chatterino, people implement things on the grounds that they want to implement it, not just because other people asked for it.

RAnders00 commented 4 years ago

Another thing you can do in the meanwhile is to put something like a dot or other small character behind your messages before sending them.

RAnders00 commented 4 years ago

I commented on #1572 now, including that it should be possible to disable the alternate-message-invisible-character system. With that, what you're asking is a duplicate of #1572 and discussion/other comments should be made in that issue instead. Thank you

fourtf commented 4 years ago

Your concern is valid and I will add an option for the spam-protection later today. However, please for the future take note of a couple things concerning etiquette.
