Does the problem occur:
Every time? Or how often? Yes
In other games? Yes
In other user accounts? N/A
On other computers? N/A

When does the problem NOT occur?

Did the problem NOT occur in any earlier versions? If so, what was the last version that worked? 506.1243
Curious. I wonder if there's a more reproducible test case I can use to examine this. There has to be something specific about the Chatters HTML. As far as links go, I can run tests on those.
Well this is fun. I found out that the GetTextLength() function in richedit controls is buggy. Apparently it works just dandy in the version we normally use, but it's broken in newer ones. I found a fix for the text case I worked up (mixing various line styles). The problem with the formatting is almost certainly the same issue that's going on with the links, and probably the log function as well.
Which BYOND release is this scheduled to be fixed in?
We'll probably upload something with the vc2013 fixes later tonight.
