FS#1654 - Inconsistentcy with /me in different displays
Last night I was chatting with a person in my guild and noticed the following:
Guild tab in chat window: “<charactername> does action and says blah”
In speech bubble over characters head: “/me does action and says blah”
Is this the expected behavior?

Works OK now.
this was reported on the old tracker ages ago, and has not been fixed yet
UNTESTED patch (this fixes it clientside btw):
http://httbird.blackintel.org/chatbubble_fs1654.patch
Can someone who has a network-accessible test server test this for me please?
Tested the patch, it does what it’s supposed to do.
I’m not sure if that’s the intended behavior though. In main chat actions like “/my feet hurt” or “/me laughs” don’t trigger chatbubbles.
Why should they do in the other channels?
No clue…I can make another patch to turn them off completely for /me or /my…
Peeg, Kaerli did you in options turn on the me chat bubbles?
Looks like even with “me” chat bubbles on /me does not show in a bubble
I think that “/me does something” should show up in a chat bubble as:
*Qia does something*
Same for “/my eyes close” would be:
*Qia’s eyes close*
Often times when there is busy chat from several fronts, and you only want to know who is talking to you in your immediate vacinity (e.g. a guild meeting, wedding, etc.), it is useful to just close off the communication window and look around at a group near you. But when you do that you miss out on /me and /my, which is annoying.
I liked Qia’s idea and went to implemented it:

Caarrie is right, the chatbubbles for “/me” and “/my” in main don’t show up. Will look at that later
Committed to trunk (r1875), thanks Celestar.
Hmm, if I do “/me pulls your nose” a bubble shows up on each client: “pulls your nose”. Is this correct?
Marking in progress until there is a reply.
I noticed in-game this weekend that the chat bubble had:
* <charactername> does blah *
I think this works well. Should this ticket be closed?
Tested on laanx with latest updated client, and it all works ok.
‘/me jumps’ shows ‘jumps’ in a bubble (not perfect, but ok)
‘/tell myname /me jumps’ shows ‘*myname jumps*’ in a bubble.
Closing bug.
