--- Comment #24 from Josh josh@devxt.com 2007-11-10 04:10:23 --- I'm having the same issues personally and have considered it to possibly be a font issue because I know the people I am sending the message to are receiving it. I sent a message to my dad telling him to call me because I couldn't see messages and he called. So I am guessing that its an issue based around that, I haven't run an API spy on the chat window any but I can bet its probably some proprietary kind of rich text deal. If that is the case then I imagine it won't be too easy of a fix for the great developers at wine.
Good luck but for me, I'll just sign off steam friends and deal with it and keep watching here until its confirmed as working again.
