Tribble bug reported on 09/29/2020

When you copy and paste text from the chat window, the last character of each message and the last character of each account handle are removed from the text. Previously, the messages and account handles were copied correctly.


Steps to reproduce

1. Install build ST.105.20200810a.25 (SVN 261196). Then start the game client.
2. Press the Esc key. Click on the "Options" button. Then click on the "Chat" tab.
3. Turn on the options "Show Dates" and "Show Times".
4. Right-click on the chat window's text input box, and change the channel to [Local].
5. Enter the following lines into chat window:

Test-1
Test-2
Test-3

6. With your mouse, highlight the three lines you just entered in the chat window (including the date, time, channel name, character name, and account handle).
