I found a bug where by saying a special char which happend to be in a webpage i found changes the colour of chat randomly for everyone that hears the charector. This means that object text is sometimes white and sometimes green and so is avatar chat. I actually reported this about 2 weeks ago and have had no reply. Im now thinking about playing with it more and selling it on slexchange so that they actually take notice of me. I so dont like the way you submit bug reports and never get any feedback.

I've seen this happen, but haven't been able to make it happen on demand. What happens is that the color of the *previous* line gets applied to each line.

Kaet, if you can reproduce this, file a bug report in the client via Help -> Report Bug

Well this script does a similar thing for me every time ... just insert it into a basic prim and click away ...
CODE

default
{
touch_start(integer total_number)
{
llWhisper(0, "Fetching data ...");
llHTTPRequest("http://news.bbc.co.uk", [], "");
}

http_response(key request_id, integer status, list metadata, string body)
{
llWhisper(0, body);
}
}
I get about 90% of the output in object-chat colour, and the other 10% in avatar-chat colour.

Also it only seems to effect people with windows xp. I tested it with a freind and his 2000 pc didnt get the problem where as his alt on xp did.
