If a player's username is multi-lined (Ex: "\nBobby") and the person types a chat message in the pre-game lobby, then it will cause everyone to lock in an infinite loop.
They get caught up in scripts/widgets/text.lua:
while self.inst.TextWidget:GetRegionSize() > maxwidth do
str = str:utf8sub(1, -2)
self.inst.TextWidget:SetString(str..ellipses)
end
To fix this, an edit to scripts/widgets/redux/lobbychatqueue.lua:
group.user_widget:SetTruncatedString(data.username..":", self.username_maxwidth, 30, "..:")
Changed to:
group.user_widget:SetMultilineTruncatedString(data.username..":", self.multiline_maxrows, self.username_maxwidth, self.line_maxchars, "..:")
Of course since this is the username field it could also apply restrictions of multiline_maxrows to 1, and change the line_maxchars to the arbitrary '30' from before.
Steps to Reproduce
Have a person with a newline as the start of their username join a room and type a message, then watch the locking.
