Font tag causing big spaces between messages in chat

#1

any idea why would this line local text = "<i><font color = \"rgb(0, 255, 255)\">"..player.Name.."</font></i> has come online." be the reason for this big space in between the two messages

(works just fine without font tag)

I think the issue might be the chat reserves the right amount of space for this entire string including tags but they aren’t actually visible to us
