TextChannel's channel tab does not disappear when player's TextSource is removed from a TextChannel

[ShinyGriffin]

When a player TextSource is removed from a TextChannel with :Destroy() when ChannelTabs is enabled, the TextChannel’s tab UI is still visible in the player’s chat and the player is able to send ‘ghost messages’ to the chat that do not have a username and can’t be seen by other players.

Reproduction Steps:

1. Create a TextChannel in TextChatService
2. Add a TextSource to the TextChannel with TextChannel:AddUserAsync(player.UserId). This will cause the channel tab for the TextChannel to appear in the chat.
3. Remove the player from the TextChannel with TextSource:Destroy(). The player will still be able to see the channel’s ui tab in the chat.

Expected behavior

I expect the channel tab UI to be removed from the player’s tab bar in the chat if their TextSource is removed from a TextChannel.

I can confirm that this happens and it is very annoying.

Unsure if this is a bug, but it also has channels with TextSource.CanSend disabled also show up. If this is not a bug, then I would love for it to be a feature. Perhaps having TextChannel.Visible

Channel Tabs & UI Gradient Now Available in TextChatService

There are a lot of bugs. The channels that send messages without the name means that the channel is no longer able to be chatted in, but it still lets you “send” messages. I have a channel that you cannot send messages in, but it allows you to despite CanSend being disabled [image] [image] Shouldn’t that channel be hidden since you cannot chat in it? There also seems to be a spammed error when swapping teams [image] I recommend to avoid using it until it is fixed. It feels like it was rus…

Hey @ShinyGriffin - thanks for your report. We’re looking into this one and will try to get a fix out ASAP. Apologies for the inconvenience in the meantime!

[ShinyGriffin]

Thanks so much! I would also like to include that if a TextChannel is destroyed, players who were in the channel can no longer type at all and I get this warning in the output: TextChatService is not enabled. Check TextChatService.ChatVersion and make sure it is not set as ChatVersion.LegacyChatService.

I made a separate bug report for this issue.

Player can no longer chat if they were in a TextChannel that has been destroyed

When channel tabs are enabled, if a player’s TextSource is in a TextChannel, and the TextChannel gets destroyed, the player will no longer be able to chat at all, and this warning appears: TextChatService is not enabled. Check TextChatService.ChatVersion and make sure it is not set as ChatVersion.LegacyChatService. Steps: Enable TextChatService and ChannelTabsConfiguration. Create a TextChannel and add a player to the TextChannel with TextChannel:AddUserAsync() Type in the new TextChannel, a…

Any updates on this issue? I see that the bug has been marked as fixed but I still experience this issue.

[ShinyGriffin]

I am not sure. I am still having this issue too. I tested it today.

Could we get a follow-up on this issue? No effective way of removing players from the channels essentially makes the entire feature useless in most of my use cases. I additionally do not see a reason why we have to resort to removing TextSources from TextChannels rather than being provided a function analogous to AddUserAsync.

I figured out if you parent the TextChannels folder somewhere else, then move it back, it fixes the tab issue. A bit hacky but works for anyone who wants to use tabs.

Are you doing this on server or client? Trying to get my channel tabs functional but reparenting the entire folder on the server when one person leaves one channel seems… yk

[Askavix]

Client. And I had to do it for more than task.wait().
