I'm not 100% sure when this started, but typing during the initial start up (engines online etc, and right after), results in anything you type appearing in the chat box and ALSO sending commands to your mech.

The most fun one is alpha-strike.. right into someones back or legs.
Happened twice by me so far today. One atlas just said don't do it again, and you're now my bodyguard. The other guy, well he was a **** about it. Oh well.

Known bug?

I think it only happens
1) in the time gap after the "drop window" text,
2) while typing during the BB Commentary
3) if you haven't closed the chat window before she stops
4) and if you type anything in the window after she stops

Known issue, sorry, can't find the link to the post on it. It tends to go buggy if you are typing near a system transition from one state to another (e.g. between loading screen and being loaded in)

I don't know who programs your chat feature, but they don't know what they are doing. While in chat, even AFTER the game is in full swing, occasionally things like Battle Grid, Team Score, firing functions will all be executed as though I wasn't just typing to someone.

The chat feature has been getting worse, and it should be the simplest thing to implement
