Twice over the last two days, something has gone crazy with my chat in BBO - as I type most characters get preceded by a broken character (and sometimes even a newline).

Copying and pasting the result elsewhere shows they're characters like \u0001, \u0002, \u0003, etc.

Copying and pasting normal text from elsewhere into the chat line works; it's solely when typing into chat.

If I reload the window, it fixes itself (as least, until the next time it happens - seems random so far).

Has anyone else experienced this, or has anything changed in the client recently? Feels like some sort of escaping problem.

Not just in chat. I've witnessed very strange characters playing at the tables, too! 😎

Sorry, sorry. There's a good chance the chat problem will go after your next flash update.

The last Flash update (26.0.0.137) was released July 11, so seems unlikely that would suddenly start causing issues from a couple of days ago only (unless the BBO client was change to rely on a future release, which seems unlikely).

This has been happening (sporadically) nearly every day since, so something is definitely up.
