Reproduction Steps

1. Enter any place where ChatVersion is set to TextChatService, either in-game or in studio.
2. Try to use an emote you own with a name that includes a space via the /e chat command. (e.g. “/e dorky dance”)

Expected Behavior

The command should work and the emote should play without issue.

Actual Behavior

The emote won’t play, and the message “You can’t use Emotes here.” will appear in chat, in red.

Hey sorry for the silence here. It turns out this was fixed one month later in Nov 2022. Thanks for the report! Closing now.

As of now, trying to run an emote with spaces in the chat still doesn’t work.
