Colon appears before verification check in TextChatService

Bug Reports Engine Bugs
#1

In TextChatService, the colon that appears after your name in your chat message, appears before the checkmark if you are verified.

This can be fixed by assigning a callback function to .OnIncomingMessage, but it still is an inconsistency between the current TextChatService and the legacy chat service. It makes it look like the verification tick is part of the message.

Doesn’t happen in any specific game, happens in all games that use TextChatService.

Expected behavior

The checkmark should appear before the colon, which is how it is using the legacy chat service.

This is likely a side-effect caused by how the colon is now deemed part of the sender-name so it is editable by developers.

I’m not sure if this was originally intentional or a mistake, but we agree that the two chats should match.

Assuming things go smoothly this should be updated sometime next week.

How will this affect developers who remove / change the “:” character with their code? Is this live yet?

It is live, I tested it after the recent update came out but there appears to be another bug that came with it? Two colons now appear @be_nj, it was normal before iirc so I’m not sure what happened
