[BUG] The curious case of the '$' character capturing text after it and double printing output.

Temujyn83 opened this issue · comments

After updating to 3.1.1 it no longer doubles output just being in a file. However using msg_contents("$You") and forgetting the () at the end will grab all text after the $ and double print. So less a bug and more user error, I tried to delete this couldn't see how/where, new to github, apologies.

I don't see it double-print, it's just that if you do e.g. here.msg_contents("$You") without the () it will send the $You as a string to the room and possibly echoed to you separately if you haven't set up the source of the call properly.

(oh, and you can use the Close with comment or Close as not planned at the bottom to close the close the ticket (you cannot 'delete' it beyond that).
