anyone know why 'chat' now defaults to 'chat to kibbers' .. is a small but very annoying 'feature' when kibbing at a 'bounce' game with friends..
(happens if y just type rather than clicking 'CHAT' button)

I think this is to stop people accidently saying things they shouldn't to the table (like, why did he bid 2♥, he's too strong for that, etc.) whilst discussing play with other kibitzers. Well, that's a side-effect, but whether or not it's the reason I don't know.

Too many accidents ( leakage of hands to table)...


To chat directly to table, use control-S before you start typing

I think it's a great feature. Avoids accidents spoiling people's game. What's the problem when your fiends are kibbing too? They will receive your messages won't they?

ty for explanations/opinions.. I had overlooked the 'leakage' risk ..still it would be neat if it was configurable ..so we can switch it off when the kibbers are allowed to say what they like ;)

Type CNTRL-S, a chat box opens that is directed to the table. Sometimes, if last chat was to table, next is...but even if not, CNTRL-S is a great way to open chat to table (save mucking with the mouse, and you can keep you hands on the keyboard).
