Shout is borked

Ctrl-Enter no longers shouts your chat since the most recent update.

Only clicking the Shout button will throw your text beyond chat range.

FYI - Film at 11.

Hopping on this thread. Im disapointed if change was planned, it makes things more difficult if you have objects that respond to shouts

For those of you who don't know, we're running tomorrow's Challenger Act 4 in Hepurn with a manually-timed Race Line. Anticipating these sorts of shout UI problems, we've taken advantage of the Flying Tako's shout feature to facilitate the ten-second countdown.

While seated as the skipper in a moored Flying Tako, once can configure a gesture thusly to ensure timely announcements:

Chat: 10 SECONDS to the start
Chat: /1 SH 10 SECONDS to the start

This way a simple function key press can both speak an announcement in general chat and have the boat relay-shout it after a slight delay. I don't know if this suits your needs, but it works well for running manually line-judged races.
