[Bug Report] Chat text box retains PRIVATE character name when changing chat focus.
[Bug Report] Chat text box retains PRIVATE character name when changing chat focus.
1- Reporter:

2- What server:
"16- Law of Themis" US East
3- Platform:
Generic PC - Windows 7 Compliant
4- Operating system:
Windows 7
5- Description:
In Chat Box, when changing chat area from PRIVATE to GUILD or REALM chat, chat text box retains character name in text input areas other than PRIVATE. User must delete the name before typing a message. PRIVATE name is pre-pended to the chat text box in Realm, or Guild [Note: this is not PRIVATE and very undesirable behavior], method of choosing chat area (TAB or Drop Down] does not change behavior. This is a flaw and/or a bug. For privacy, PRIVATE NAME should be removed, when selecting other chat focus area. ex: Guild or Realm, as it only acts as a director to the client & server communication when a "PRIVATE" message is to be directed. After deleting character name while in Guild, Realm, or All, clicking Private re-displays the name of the character most recently sent a Private message, this part is normal and expected. However, must be deleted again, when changing chat focus. Remove surperfluous PRIVATE character name appearing in typing area when changing focus to Guild Chat or Realm Chat. Keep name for Private chat focus only.
Also, game should recall the last chat area used, when refreshing or starting session after exiting client. Need to retain session to session preferred chat area settings. Often, due to bugs, the cliant must be refreshed, this can occur during timely events such as Guild Wars, Nobel Lady, or other events where Guild chat is critical to success. By not recalling preffered chat area, or area last visited on live reset, user cannot resume chat session without the additional requirment of ensuring they are in the right area, which was the last chat area visited. It's bad enough the entire conversation is lost, which is normal and expected.
6- Summary:
Generating a Whisper pre-pends the character name into the chat text box and switches to Private chat (normal and expected). However, changing focus to Guild or Realm text input area retains and displays the pre-pended name of the Private chat person, and displays that name in the input box of other areas. Remove NAME when chat focus shifts from Private.
