Common text faces should not turn into emojis

Common typed faces like :D, :O, :P, :C change into unrelated emojis when you press enter on them, with the worst offender being :D, turning into a drooling emoji.

There should be a special condition made for these common faces to not turn into emojis when they’re typed because it can cause confusion about the meaning and intent behind the chat message.

Common examples:
:D, turning into :drooling_face:
:P, turning into :pray:
:C, turning into :clap:
:O, turning into :ok_hand:

This seems to be more like an unintentional side effect of the emoticon functionality, it just happens to be that the relative emoji starts with the letters (d for drooling, p for praying, c for clap, o for okay)

This could very easily be fixed by only showing the emote search if 2 or more letters are typed, as opposed to popping up on the first letter.

Time to switch to emoticons like =D, =P, =O, =C

Hi, this shouldn’t be the case anymore (we recently rolled out a change where the autocomplete now needs to take in 2 characters (not one) after the colon to be triggered). Can you tell me what chat version you’re on by typing “/version” in the chat input bar?

Still happening in my games, the chat version is 4.1.10 (55d3bc1)

In my opinion, the autocomplete should only work if you press Tab and not enter or space (which I noticed also triggers it the last time I used it!)

This is still an issue, just checked

The fix should be available for v4.1.11! Please let me know if you still encounter this issue when your version is on v4.1.11
