At least as far as running in Linux anyway. Can't speak for Windows or iOS

If there is a "space" in the persons name.

Cosair sees an envelope, opens it and sees:
hits check and sees:
types in Hi back:
ENTER
Game thinks Corsair sent a /msg to "Swift"
OOPS!
Modify the return message to "/msg Swift+Wolf" to get the correct recipient. I'll ask comp to check this out, but in the meantime, this might help.

I remembered how player+names work from using commands back before i lost GM. Little things learned along the way can make a difference later, at least until my forgetter catches up to me. Lol

Well:
- read about it in a post at one time
- wrote it down in FT-tips-n-tricks.txt
- saw a msg ingame
- added it to FT-tips-n-tricks.txt
- read it in mchat
- added it to FT-tips-n-tricks.txt
NOW: if only I could remember where FT-tips-n-tricks.txt is
______________________________
It's a BIG lie, I have no FT-tips-n-tricks.txt file
but I should have with my forgetter.

That is definitely on the odd side. Like why can't the cursor be in the "ready to type" position after the /msg Name part?
It is fixed now in new beta 7.5.1
