Uhh… it was broken… so yes we did need this.

It was broken because the line-height was too small… Totally not one of the easiest things they could fix…

I love it, but noticed certain gears make the bubble chat go higher, don’t know if it’s intentional or not:

It wasn’t broken to the extent where it needed a whole revamp, it’s easy to fix it yourself in your own game, roblox is just slow on fixing things.

Hmm… is it just me, or is it not possible to disable classic chat through forking anymore? I don’t know of any other way but…? Has anyone else encountered this?
Found a bit of a bug:
It seems that the bubbles go through accessories in r15 rigs. Below is a screen recording of the issue:
Hopefully that wasn’t intended- it looks terrible. Hopefully someone will look into this.
cc @Chocopain, hopefully you can take note of this. I can file a bug report if necessary.

i mean the old bubble chat was actually pretty broken, text cut off and stuff
I’m highly confused on why people are getting mad at the chat update, the old chat system was outdated and kinda stopped working, basically the chat would cut off or it just wouldn’t load.The new chat system that roblox is working on is getting a lot of hate for no reason… Its literally new, you could basically say things to help it improve instead of trying to call if awful…

Is it possible to have different colors for different people?
EX: Person1: Red bubble, Person2: Pink bubble, and so on.

The old one only broke because the line-height was goofed up - custom forks which correct this issue work perfectly fine. Furthermore, the old UI could be considered to be more legible and formal by many, as the new UI looks too cartoon-ish (IMO).
This looks really cool.
Do you know if this will also fix the issue where the chat bubble cuts off and doesn’t display the entire message sent?

Once again, it’s easy to fix in your own game…
Roblox is too lazy to publish a fix which would take them less than 30 seconds to do.

Thank god they are working on a new bubble system. The old one has so many issues todo with text being chopped off. EG: lol = lo

Text being chopped off is a bug which is really easy to patch in a custom fork, although Roblox don’t seem to be willing to fix their own system…

I think it’s funny you say that they aren’t willing to fix their own system when clearly, while you may not like it and you think it’s inefficient, this is a fix.

But it isn’t a solution - it’s a workaround. A solution would be to modify the base code for the current/outgoing system to use a slightly higher line-height (change from 10 to 12), which really wouldn’t take that long.

But it’s the same as this situation:
--[[
Picture this: a two-lane road through a town is extremely backed up.
Residents want the road to be widened through their town.
But instead the government builds a bypass route around
the town. This clears traffic.
]]
So according to you, building the bypass was not a solution, when it was (since it cleared up traffic).

A solution isn’t the same as a workaround. What you described was a workaround, not a solution.

Not currently, however, this is something they are looking into implementing in the future.
