If I am in a chat room and then leave to go to lobby, the scrolling chat record is wiped and starts again from scratch.

That may be intentional, but I cannot see the benefit.
It may be nothing new, but I don't remember it before.
It may also happen under other circumstances - not yet checked.
It is not especially important, as chat is logged to hard disk anyway.
It may have been mentioned already by others, in which case my apologies.

Certainly not something to delay release over.

Psyche (pron. sahy-kee): The human soul, spirit or mind (derived, personification thereof, beloved of Eros, Greek myth).

It has been like this for at least 6 months.

The main reason I did this is because the embedded auction and hand diagrams that can appear in a chat room can really mess things up when only a small chat area is available after you leave the chat room.

Yes, there are more elegants ways I could have solved this problem, but it would have been a lot of work and given that chat rooms are not used very much on BBO I judged that there were better ways for me to spend my time.
