[BUG-830] Blocking an avatar's attachment by name does not block its chat on recent versions of Viewer 3

[sl-service-account]

h4.Steps To Reproduce

• You need 2 avatars to test this, Alt A and Alt B

• Login Alt A on any viewer version

• Rez a prim, name it Spammer and add the following script:

  default
  {
  
    state_entry()
    {
        llSetTimerEvent(5);
    }
    timer()
       {
        llSay(0,"Evil chat spam");
       }
  
  }

  This prim will spam local chat every 5 seconds saying "Evil chat spam"

• Attach this prim to Alt A

• Login Alt B on a recent release of Viewer 3 (Alt A must still be logged in)

• Alt B: Go to Communicate -> Block List -> Block Object By Name

• Enter the name Spammer -> Ok

  The Spammer object will then show as blocked by name in the Block list

  Observed Behaviour

  Alt B still sees the chat coming from the Spammer attachment worn by Alt A

  h4.Expected Behaviour

  Alt B should not see any chat coming from the Spammer attachment worn by Alt A This used to be the case. I am still narrowing down exactly when this behavior change occured.

  If you relog Alt B on the old official 1.23 viewer, Alt B will not see the chat from the Spammer attachment worn by Alt A

  h4.Other Information

• If Alt A drops the Spammer attachment inworld, Alt B will then not see its chat

• If Alt A then Right clicks the spammer prim and attaches it, Alt B will once again see the chat from the Spammer object

• It does not appear to matter what viewer you block/mute the spammer object with. Results are the same.

• If Alt A drops the Spammer box and Alt B Right click -> Blocks it, so it then shows in Block list as Blocked (object) instead of (name), behaviour is the same. Chat spam is blocked until Alt A attaches the spammer box again.

• Second Life 3.4.2 (266995) Nov 14 2012 03:52:03 (Second Life Beta Viewer)

• Second Life 3.4.1 (266581) Nov 5 2012 12:17:12 (Second Life Release)

• Firestorm 4.2.2 (29837) Aug 27 2012 19:20:05 (Firestorm-Release)

• Firestorm 3.0.1 (22566) Sep 11 2011 13:22:35 (Firestorm-Beta-Mesh)

  h4.Does not reproduce on...

  I gave up trying to fight the autoupdater on old versions of V3 :(

• Firestorm 2.4.2 (14918) May 12 2011 05:25:09 (Firestorm-Preview) (old sidebar version of Firestorm, pre mesh)

• Second Life 1.23.5 (136262) Oct 14 2009 12:08:26 (Second Life Release)

• Phoenix Viewer 1.6.1 (1691) Mar 19 2012 11:12:11 (Phoenix Viewer Release Mesh)

  Looks like behaviour changed around the time Mesh was added to the viewer, going by behaviour on old Firestorm versions.

LL is willing to take in this fix after the CHUI project has been merged in (which will not happen for a little while).
