Your name says it all.
They're leaving it broken just to annoy you.

I hate this bug. It's a minor issue ultimately since it isn't crashing servers or corrupting data, but it is highly visible, distracting and annoying.
What's broken and why is it taking so long to fix? The key problem here is way back when, someone decided it would be a good idea to have three separate keyboard input interpreters and any changes done have to play "house of cards" game with the three. The current set of bugs began appearing a while back when we started making changes to implement the mission editor, which morphed into the Mission Architect.
I've no doubt that it will be fixed at some point; I just wanted to basically point out that, yes, we're aware of it and yes, we are trying to fix it. It's just an enormously more complicated task that it "should" be.

I love how after BAB commented about if you can give steps to reproduce it 100% of the time that the programmers would love you and everyone is crawling out of the woodword with "these will always do it" steps that seldom get the chat bug to happen on my system. One of them even goes so far as to say "this will happen 90% of the time" on their procedure.
Gee, since when is 90%=100% ???
If it were as easy to fix and reproduce as some people seem to think, then I'm sure that between Garth, Graham, Vince and C.W. they'd have figured it out by now and the whining on this particular item would have stopped.
If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.

fix it already for christ sakes!!!!!
