Bogus tabs & spaces appended to outgoing chat messages #114

Closed twwn closed 8 years ago

twwn commented 8 years ago

Since a while random tabs are appended to my outgoing messages. While I don't see them in the IRC window/log, sometimes they pop up in the log of my Steam client. Eg, these to a eight word message:

                                                          [ends here]

Dunno if this is a bitlbee (at g242f280) or plugin thing.

I leaning towards this being an issue with your client/bouncer.

It's the opportunistic OTR whitespace marker, either added by the bitlbee otr plugin or by an otr plugin in your client. It's used to (somewhat) silently tell the other person that you support OTR.

Gotta be it, goes along with the recent changes too.

I see now that the bitlbee log has "otr: [account] ready" for all including steam, even though there's nothing regarding it in bitlbee.conf (nor in my weechat configs).

Good thinking, @dequis! This is a result of ab91711. You could always do: set otr_policy manual.

Guess I'll close this then.

Might be considered to make manual the default for steam though, seeing most of us (probably) chat with ordinary steam client users for who the whitespaces only cause confusion (as it did for me).
