WIth the new server-tied names, every single time you get whispered at you get one chat window containing only the initial message (from “Name”) and then any of your replies and the rest of the conversation continues in another window (“Name - Servername”). This creates two chat windows for each whisper, one of which is useless, which is a bit annoying.
This happens with the IM chat style enabled (Interface -> Social).
It’s not an addon issue, I’m playing without addons and I confirm this behaviour. It’s leftovers from retail cross-server tech. Should be fixed. Similar bug with sending mail, where autocomplete suggests me my alts from different servers, but there’s no way to send mail to different servers in Classic.
Yes I don’t know why the game does this. Why does it say I’m speaking to “Notarbet-TenStorms”? I know they’re on Ten Storms because its the server I am on!
