Holodeck bug reported on 10/06/2020

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).

8. Observe that all three lines were copied and pasted correctly.

9. Install build ST.110.20200917a.3 (SVN 261138). Then start the game client.
10. Repeat steps 2 through 5.
11. With your mouse, highlight the three lines you just entered in the chat window. Notice that you can't highlight the final "3" in the last line.

    I've just tested this and unfortunately, it doesn't matter which way you copy it, the character still disappears.

    If you copy from the bottom up, by clicking on the last character on the last message, the last message is copied in full, the others lose their last character.

    Eg: If I type:
    test1
    test2
    test3

    When I copy the text from bottom up and paste it, I will get the following:~
    test
    test
    test3
