This issue has been resolved.
Descriptive Problem Summary:
Links outputted to an output element are now extremely difficult to click on, or flat out impossible to click on. It's inconsistent in how they work, but either you can only click on the very first letter of a link, or you can only click on it if your mouse pointer is hovering exactly over the pixel of a letter.

Numbered Steps to Reproduce Problem:
1. Output a URL link to an output element (such as "http://www.byond.com" or "Click on this <a href="http://www.byond.com">link</a>")
2. Try to click on it.

Expected Results:
The entire link should be clickable.

Actual Results:
Only the first letter of the link is clickable, or it's too difficult to click on.

Did the problem NOT occur in any earlier versions? If so, what was the last version that worked?
This works perfectly fine in 509.1314. Whatever is happening is new to 509.1315.

Workarounds:
Unknown.
Looks like to click a hyperlink on 509.1315 you have to click the actual pixels of the letters, the whitespace of the letter doesn't work, and on the first letter, anywhere.

This needs to be fixed.

I can also confirm it is 1315 exclusive, 509.1314 is still fine.
Lummox JR resolved issue
I'm rereleasing 509.1315 to fix this. It's the result of code that improved the problem of the output control "freezing" in high-chat situations. I found out what was causing that and I'm uploading the fix now.

This only impacts Windows.
